A LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Readers,

This publication contains several stories selected from research activities across the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences for your reading enjoyment. Hopefully, regardless of your background or experience, you will find something of interest to you.

These reports, which touch in some manner, on animals, plants, insects, human health, finances and the environment represent but a small sampling of the many important activities in the College.

In spite of the current economic situation in our state and across the nation we have hard working faculty and staff who continue to be competitive in the grant game to support research that is important to this nation's economic viability.

Thanks to our very competent production staff who always develop a quality publication and to our excellent faculty and staff who generated the information that is being reported.

As always, feel free to contact my office if you have questions or need additional information.

Enjoy,

Colin Kaltenbach
Vice Dean and Director, Agricultural Experiment Station
