"This 2-year project has been helpful in characterizing nonstructural carbohydrates in cool-season grasses. We have learned a lot about the normal fluctuations seen across environments and, more specifically, variations due to genetic differences. The main conclusions are:
1. Percentages of nonstructural carbohydrate are highly variable throughout the growing season and...
In order to better understand the general problem of satellite cloud top height
retrievals for low clouds, observations made by NOAA research vessels in the
stratocumulus region in the southeastern Pacific during cruises in 2001 and 2003 to 2006
were matched with near-coincident retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer...

Designed to help dairy farmers calculate the costs of homegrown forages and compare them to the costs of purchasing forages. Presents typical per-acre costs of establishing, producing, and harvesting alfalfa or grass for silage to help farmers estimate costs. Explains how to compare forage production costs to alternatives by assigning...

Mastitis is the single most expensive disease to the dairy industry, contributing to large financial losses due to decreased quantity and quality of milk. It's essential to develop and implement a mastitis
control program to keep mammary glands healthy and reduce infection in the herd. Removing the hair from a...

Discusses how to choose the best type of animal for your needs and briefly mentions issues related to feeding and breeding. Provides information on safely using milk, either fresh or in butter, yogurt, or animal feed.
People living in the suburbs and owning a small acreage often select dairy cattle or dairy goats as a means of harvesting and using their forage. Milk production can reduce the family grocery bill. Goats, especially, will help control brush and weeds and keep the area from becoming unsightly.
