...transition to more sustainable, smaller-scale production methods could even be possible without a loss in overall yield, as one survey from the University of Michigan suggested, but it would require far more farmworkers than we have today. With unemployment approaching double digits - and things especially grim in impoverished rural areas that have seen populations collapse over the past several decades - that's hardly a bad thing.

We would have to get access to enough students to have a statistically significant sample. I personally don't think schools are going to work with U.S. News on something like that...
