Name of page: California's Velcro Crop under Challenge

How did you find the page?: recommended by my teacher

 The domain of the page is .com which mean this is a commercial site and anyone could have posted it. 
The author of this article is identified right under the titile. I assume the author is just an individual because there is only his name, no organization, corporation or organization is mentioned that he may be affiliated with. There is also no information about the author whatsoever. Nothing about his credentials, education or his career.
I believe that this man created the information himself. There are not any sources to back up his statements. With this information presented or lack of I might add, I do not believe this man is qualified to write about this issue. He clearly made this information up because there are no links to other websites that have information on this issue.      
There really is not much of a purpose to this article. It mainly just talks about how over the years velcro is getting more difficult to grow and that it is hard for workers to manage it. The author wants people to realize there are special needs to grow velcro and get them to help solve those problems.
There are no adds so it is hard to tell who the audience is the author is targeting. I would say an older audience due to the vocabulary and people who use velcro. 
There is no information provided that informs us when the article was last updated and there is no need to maintain this page because there is absolutely nothing on it but the article itself. The only information provided is when the article was written. This page is completely unreliable. The are no other sources, links, reviews, awards, or opinions from experts. Anyone could have written and posted this.   
This site fits the criteria of my current assignment. This site is very questionable with no information to back up his facts. This is a perfect example of a website that has false information on it. This website would work for anyone researching questionable websites.
