Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National
Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not
indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However,
the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations
on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of bringing the
literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many
cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line
searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and
evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be
construed as endorsement or disapproval.

Abstract: This book is designed for use by policy makers,
researchers, educators, and organization leaders. The chapters are
divided into five major parts. The first part dealing with the
National and International Economic environment, states that the
current condi tions of the US agriculture and food policy are quite
different from earlier ones. It also deals with the world food
production and trade environment. The
economic problems and possibilities of the rural sector, in farm
and rural nonfarm families have been examined in the next chapter.
Strategies for rural development and farm enterprise options are
explored. In part III the budgetary implications for agriculture
and food policy are presented. Part IV
describes an emerging priority agenda for agricultural and
food policy makers that includes the effects of farming
practices, sustainable or low input agricultural systems on water
quality, and consumer concerns about food quality. The last chapter
focuses on research findings and implications of both qualitative
and quantitative studies of farm commodity, trade and food issues
of existing policy.

Abstract: Cultivar differences, seasonal variations, and
farming practices on the carotenoid composition of a leafy
vegetable (kale) were studied. Although the samples were taken from
commercial farms, sampling was planned so that the effect of each
factor could be assessed. The carotenoids and the
vitamin A value were significantly higher in the cultivar
Tronchuda in the summer; the same tendency was observed in the
winter, but the differences were not statistically
significant. The beta-carotene, lutein-violaxanthin, and total
carotenoid levels, as well as the vitamin A value, were
significantly higher in the winter than in the summer for cv.
Manteiga kale. On the other hand, the neoxanthin content was
significantly higher in the summer for the Tronchuda cultivar. All
the constituent carotenoids were significantly higher in the
samples from the "natural" farm as compared to those from the farm
that used agrochemicals.

Abstract: Analysts have described conflict between the
economically dominant industrial sector of society and the
environmental movement as representing competition between two
opposing worldviews or social paradigms. There appears to be a
similar schism developing in agriculture. The conventional
paradigm of large-scale, highly industrialized agriculture is being
challenged by an increasingly vocal alternative
agriculture movement which advocates major shifts toward a
more "ecologically sustainable agriculture." Some have
suggested that alternative agriculture represents a
fundamentally new paradigm for agriculture. This paper seeks to
clarify and synthesize the core beliefs and values
underlying these two approaches to agriculture into a
"conventional agriculture paradigm" and an "alternative
agriculture paradigm." The writings of six major proponents of
alternative agriculture are compared with those of six leading
proponents of conventional agriculture to document the major
components of the two agricultural paradigms. The two sets of
writings reveal dramatically divergent perspectives on a wide range
of agricultural issues. The competing paradigms can be synthesized
into six major dimensions: 1) centralization vs. decentralization,
2) dependence vs. independence, 3)
competition vs. community, 4) domination of nature vs. harmony with
nature, 5) specialization vs. diversity, and 6)
exploitation vs. restraint. The emerging controversy over
"low-input, sustainable agriculture" (LISA) illustrates the
paradigmatic gulf between alternative and conventional
agriculture, as well as the pitfalls facing alternative
agriculturalists as they attempt to replace conventional
agriculture as the dominant paradigm.

impact; Research support
Abstract: Poultry is one of the world's major and fastest
growing sources of meat, representing over 22% of all meat
production in 1989. Because of their high nutrient content and
relatively low caloric value, egg and poultry products are
natural candidates to meet emerging consumer demands. The
United States poultry industry must continue to meet the
challenge of designing foods that meet consumers' definition of
what is safe and what is healthy. Any agricultural
production system should stand the test of scientific
scrutiny, economic analysis, and social acceptance and impact. The
agricultural science sector should develop best management
practices that continue to provide profitability and
sustainability for producers. The poultry industry in the
United States and many other countries has progressed probably more
than any other branch of livestock production in the
trend toward intensive production systems. Voluntary codes of
practice adhered to by producers of farm animals is an
effective option that can be employed to help solve concerns about
animal welfare. The poultry industry of the future will need to
meet steadily consumer demand for wholesome meat,
while addressing issues of health and safety waste management, and
water and air pollution.

Abstract: A linear programming model was used to determine which
crop rotations and weed management systems result in the highest
net farm income for each of three farm sizes (120,
240, and 480 hectares) under alternative tillage systems. Test plot
data for the years 1981 through 1988 from the Purdue
University Agronomy Farm, which has highly productive, well-drained
soils, were analyzed. Net incomes for no-till tillage systems on
all farms in the model were consistently and
significantly lower than incomes for moldboard and chisel plow
tillage systems due to slightly lower yields and substantially
higher herbicide costs. Generally, net farm incomes were
slightly higher with a moldboard plow versus chisel plow
tillage system. Also, as farm size increased, per hectare net
incomes increased. About 80% of the time under moldboard or chisel
plow tillage systems, the model chose as optimal the lowest of
three herbicide application rates. A corn/soybean rotation was
chosen as optimal on 56% of the farm area
analyzed, versus 25% for continuous corn and 13% for a
corn/soybean/wheat rotation.
