Published: July 17, 2007
The Senate Appropriations Committee will take up a 2008 funding request that includes nearly $8 million for South Dakota State University research projects targeted at agriculture.
The largest of those SDSU requests is $3.98 million for the North Central Agricultural Research Lab to study insect pests. SDSU also would get $1.46 million to study ethanol feedstocks and the conversion of byproducts to livestock feed. A group of northern plains state universities, including SDSU would share $625,000 to continue studies on range animal nutrition, and $450,000 would be devoted to a study covering Montana, North and South Dakota and Nebraska to investigate how land use practices contribute to soil sediment flowing into the Missouri River.
SDSU is also in line for $350,000 for seed science research, $300,00 to study how pulse crops, like peas, beans and lentils, can be integrated into cropping rotations in South Dakota, and SDSU and North Dakota State University would share part of $378,000 in blackbird depredation funds that will be used to research how blackbird crop damage in the Dakotas can be reduced. . . .
