Wolf Sudan photos What are we gonna eat tonight? That may be a nightmare question for a working homemaker, but it's even more vital for those of us who like to eat (a category that includes Why Filers). More specifically, as the world population rises by 80 million each year, we wonder if enough effort is going into breeding new varieties of plants, the foundation of all agriculture. The need for new varieties grows from continual changes in climate, diseases and insects. Traditionally, farmers made the new strains by selecting and planting seed from their best plants. Eventually, plant breeders built on that background using sophisticated versions of the same essential strategy crossbreeding plants to mix their genes, then testing plants with the new traits, then finally offering the varieties to farmers. Plant breeding may be the oldest science. Indeed, primitive plant breeding was essential to the

Academics Extension Research Services ... People History of the Crop Science Department Oregon State University Originally prepared by R.E. Fore and D.W. Hedrick, 1967 Edited and extended by A.P. Appleby, 1999 The history of instruction and research in farm crops at OSU traces back through the Agronomy Department (1907-1916) of the Agricultural Division formed at the time of the establishment of Oregon Agricultural College in 1868. During the early years of O.A.C., gardens were maintained for the production of crops and instruction of students in crop production. Different varieties and cultural practices were tested. The establishment in 1888 of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station gave added emphasis to research, and work with farm crops was expanded immediately. George Hyslop devoted much time to the development of the seed industry in Oregon. He started the Oregon Seed Certification program and was active in the development of the program until his death. He has been called the father of both the seed industry and the certification program in Oregon. He first undertook seed certification with potatoes in 1916 to provide seed stock true to variety name and reasonably free of diseases. Two years later, Oregon State Agricultural College started the certification of wheat. Certification of forage crops seed started in 1924, with the certification of a field of Grimm alfalfa. The Seed Testing Laboratory was started as a USDA cooperative lab in 1909 and continued as such until 1954 when it was taken over by the state of Oregon. The lab was part of the Agronomy Department until 1916 and a section of the Farm Crops Department since that time.

Additional Information from ATTRA Introduction Cover crop information abounds. In the past ten years, the number of research reports, Extension bulletins, Experiment Station reports, and popular press articles on cover crops has increased dramatically. For example, the third quarter 1998 issue of The Journal of Soil and Water Conservation contains 17 research reports on cover crops. Several excellent field handbooks have also been written. Consequently, rather than attempting to address that large body of information, this publication serves as an overview of cover crops and their uses and provides a resource list. The resource list gives ordering instructions and prices for readers who want current information in more detail.

Ag Notes - Montana State University Welcome to AGRONOMY NOTES - An information resource prepared by Dr. Jim Bauder, Extension Soil and Water Quality Specialist in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences at Montana State University. The Agronomy Notes originated from a weekly news release and fact sheet series, initiated in 1995. The news release and resultant fact sheets accessible from this web page attempt to address topics of interest to crop and livestock producers, natural resource managers, and other interested individuals. Although the focus is primarily on irrigated and dryland cereal and forage crop production in the northern Great Plains, the series offers information in fact sheet format which is useful to a wide readership. The weekly news releases making up this web site are distributed electronically each Friday morning. Ag Notes Search (screen or print) Topics, Keywords, Ag Note # and list of Documents. Getting the Most Out of Your Portfolio " by Yolonda Young and James W. Bauder Many of the questions and issues addressed were prepared in response to questions from producers like yourself. Just a few of the many subjects addressed include: agronomics of cereal and forage production, basic fertility questions, soil and water management and conservation, alternative land uses, organic farming, and technology transfer. Got a question you'd like to see answered as a new Ag Note? Enter the question below, if it is not already addressed in an existing Ag Note, a new one will be developed. When you have finished choose the "Submit Question" button and watch for the "Thank you for your submission" confirmation.
