Extractions: WHITAKERS, N.C. (AP) After years of struggling with the dirty disposal problem of sludge from how waste lagoons reserachers have come up with a possible green solutionpoplar trees that suck up the waste like soda through a straw. If the procedure works well enough to be approved by state water quality officials, it could cut to less than half the cost of closing a waste lagoon, a job now done with bulldozers and dump trunks. "It is a simple method," said Frank Humenik, coordinator of the animal waste mangement program at North Caroline State University. Humenik has been working with Oregon researchers who have been experimenting the past few years with technology that relies on groves of fast-growing hybrid poplars to suck up waste.

Extractions: TEXAS LIVESTOCK DIRECTORY The show pig industry is extremely popular in Texas, where more than 48,000 hogs are raised each year for show. Purebred swine breeds raised in Texas include Berkshire, Chester, Duroc, Hampshire, Landrace, Poland, Spot, and Yorkshire. Crosses are also plentiful throughout the state where Texas ranks 17th in the total number of pigs produced. Swine Overview Traditionally, U.S. pork production was concentrated in Midwestern Corn Belt states because of the readily available supply of feed. Producers operated farrow-to-finish units in which animals were bred, born and raised to market weight. Today, production has expanded to other regions and practices have changed, no longer focusing primarily on farrow-to-finish operations. Texas ranks 17th in the total number of pigs produced. No market hog plants currently exist in Texas, but large commercial farms are present in the Panhandle. The show pig industry is extremely popular in Texas, where more than 48,000 hogs are raised each year for show. Purebred swine breeds raised in Texas include Chester, Duroc, Landrace, Hampshire, Poland, Spot, Yorkshire and Berkshire. Crosses are also plentiful throughout the state. Advances in animal genetics, technology and management practices have spurred modern production changes as much as consumer demand for leaner, more nutritious pork products. In response to consumer demand, producers have streamlined their breeding and production methods. Since most pigs are selected at very young ages, this makes it harder to determine the genetic potential of each individual pig. Genetics are based on statistics, therefore, it is a good idea to find out all you can about the genetic lines you are selecting.

Extractions: mcarlson@iowalakes.edu 76 Credits Associate in Applied Science Emmetsburg The Agriculture Production Technology program prepares students for positions in the production sector of agriculture. Graduates have employment options of returning home to their home operation or seeking employment at other production sites. You can specialize in crop, swine or beef production by selecting electives specific to your interest area. Your studies are divided into three phases: classroom activities, experience on the 360-acre college farm laboratory with crops, swine or beef, and supervised employment experience during each fall and spring. Ag Production Technology uses today's technologies including GPS/GIS, VRT, Real time and Ultra-sound, electronic identification, artificial insemination, embryo transfer and various computer software programs.
