A crop with a unny name could help smallarmers produce more organic chickens, andmake a air proft when they do it.

Naked oatsor hull-less oats, named ortheir lack o an outer hull compared withconventional oatsare the ocus o a new,nearly $900,000 U.S. Department o Agri-culture grant to a team o OARDC scientists.

Mike Lilburn and his colleagues will studyincorporating naked oats into a our-yearorganic rotation, with the grain used either aspart o the diet or organic broiler chickens,which will also be part o the yearly rotation,or sold in organic oods such as granola.

The goal is to cut the cost o organic chickeneed by growing most o it on the armand make it more cost-e ective to raise andsell organic chickens.

The key is naked oats unique protein andamino acid balance, which may enablethe grain to compose up to 80 percent o the birds eed. (Corn and regular oatswont allow or this.) Also a plus: Nakedoats need less threshing labor thanconventional oats.

What Im hoping is that in ouryears we can o er a cost-e ective alternative to organicproducers, Lilburn saidone

that produces a quality organicproduct but decreases the costo production.

For now, the cost o organicchicken eed, which is typicallybought o the arm, is a limitingactor in expanding organicpoultry production. Organicarmers o ten sell their chickensonly as pasture-raised ratherthan certifed organic due tothe high cost o organic eed;that cost can make the birdstoo expensive to produce,even i sold at a premium price.(Pasture-raised chickensdont require organic eed butstill get a premium price.)

The grant comes through theOrganic Agriculture Research

and Extension Initiative programo USDAs National Institute o Food and Agriculture. This pastall, USDA announced this and22 other grants, totaling $19million, to research and extensionprograms at U.S. universities,all designed to advance organicarming. kurt knebuSch

My research examinesthe human dimensionsof natural resourcemanagement, Toman said.

Using theory and methodsfrom sociology and social-psychology, I focus onthe factors that influence

adaptation to changingenvironmental conditions.Much of this work haslooked at human behaviorsrelating to wildland fires.

Substantial populationgrowth in wildland areashas put more people at risk from fires, Toman said, andmeans fire managers haveto work more closely withcommunities to achievemanagement objectives.Last year alone, wildlandfires destroyed more than5,000 structures in theU.S., he noted.

Findings frommy researchcan helpagencymanagers

betterintegrate fireplanningeffortsacrosspropertyboundaries anddevelop more effective

programs, he said.Toman has done hisresearch in 15 statesover more than a decade.Results show that manyhomeowners are takingaction on their propertiesand are supportive of activemanagement to reduce thechance of fire on publiclands, he said. Theseactions are influencedby their beliefs about fireand their trust in naturalresource agencies.

Hes part of a teamfinishing a

synthesis of thestate of socialscienceknowledgeof fire

management. Thesame group recentlyproduced a DVDand field guideon the lessons of

this research to helpagency managers more

effectively engage their

communities.In addition to his fireresearch, Toman is aco-principal investigatoron a recently funded$1.5 million NationalScience Foundation grantto examine humanbehaviors and water qualityin the Maumee Riverwatershed and westernLake Erie.

He joined OARDC in2008 after completingan American Associationfor the Advancementof Science fellowshipin the National Oceanicand Atmospheric

Administrations ClimateProgram Office.

Ma ia s Aim o h pP g a Wom P vFood o I ssPregnant women can learn how to protect themselves and their babies romthe risks o oodborne illness, thanks to a joint e ort between The Ohio StateUniversity and Colorado State University. Most pregnant women dont thinko themselves as being at greater risk or oodborne illness during pregnancy.But, because they are naturally immune-suppressed, they are more at riskthan other adults, said Lydia Medeiros. Medeiros and Pat Kendall, Extension

specialist and associate dean or research at Colorado State, haveworked on the Healthy Baby, Healthy Me project since 2006

with $1.5 million in unding rom the National Integrated Food Sa etyInitiative within the U.S. Department o Agriculture. Lessons areavailable in both English and Spanish. In our research, we ound

that most pregnant women never made the connection betweenood sa ety and the health o the baby, Kendall said. Healthy

Key partnerships and a strong network: thats whats behind thesuccess o Ohio MarketMaker. That success was recognized in 2011when Ohio was one o two states recognized with the irst National FoodMarketMaker Innovation Awards, sponsored by Farm Credit. (The other:South Carolina.) Without our partnering organizations, we couldnthave MarketMaker in Ohio, said Julie Fox, direct marketing specialistor Ohio State University Extension. Partners include Ohio Farm Bureau/ Our Ohio, Ohio Department o Agriculture (ODA), Ohio Proud, theCenter or Innovative Food Technology, and the Ohio Grape Industries

Committee (OGIC). We are also ortunate to have a strong nationalnetwork. MarketMaker is a ree online database connecting oodproducers with buyers and equipping them with tools to expand theirmarkets. Ohio was recognized or Get Connected with MarketMaker,which more than doubled the number o businesses registered withthe program. We developed materials customized to address eachgroups unique needs, Fox said (see below). Other states are requestingthe materials to adapt or local use. More recently, MarketMaker

developed MarketReady, which helps producers understandhow buyers operate, allowing them to make the most o the

connections made through MarketMaker. In addition, thisyear the program is bringing back ace-to- ace Meetthe Buyers summits. When MarketMaker joined ODA

on such summits in 2010, every participant ound newbuyers or suppliers, Fox said. More businesses canbene it rom Ohio MarketMaker, and we will collaborate

with more local and state organizations to spread theword, Fox said. For example, Ohio has numerous

local ood directories. By using Ohio MarketMaker, theseorganizations and the businesses they list could

gain additional visibility. By December 2011,Ohio MarketMaker had 1,475 registeredbusinesses (up rom 601 in 2009), plus 7,000users. More in ormation at http://www.ohiomarketmaker.com . MArthA FIlIPIc

What can an animal sciences major at The Ohio State University help you achievein the 21st century? I you are graduating senior Drew Enigk, a combination o research and international travel experience hard to fnd anywhere else. A nativeo Cincinnati, Enigk initially chose animal sciences as a way to ulfll his pre-vetrequirements. Soon, however, he discovered a world (literally) o possibilities withinhis major that he hadnt anticipated when he became a Buckeye. Ive always lovedtraveling, and my experience at Ohio State has allowed me to mesh my love o traveland my interest in research, said Enigk, who participated in College o Food,

Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences-sponsored study abroad programsin Mexico, Costa Rica, and Australia. In Autumn 2011, Enigk was one o fveuniversity-wide students selected to participate in the Brazil Research Exchange, apartnership between Ohio States Honors and Scholars Program and the Universityo So Paulo. There, Enigk presented his study on the behavior o Grevys zebrasand Somali wild asseswhich he conducted as an intern at the St. Louis Zoo duringthe summer o 2010. Enigks other research experiences include collaborating withanimal wel are program specialist Naomi Botheras on a project involving the impacto human-animal interactions on the behavior and productivity o commercially rearedturkeys; and working at the Columbus Zoo with bonobos, a type o great ape.

I realized how broad the animal sciences major really is,got interested in neuroscience, and became ascinatedby how the brain works and its impact on behavior,recalled Enigk, who has minors in neuroscience,li e sciences, and physical anthropology andcredits the wealth o academic disciplines andresources available at Ohio State with uelinghis new interests and career path. My plannow is to go to graduate school and specializein biological anthropology and primatology,and work in the feld o ape behavior andconservation. MAurIcIO eSPInOzA

Distracted driving can be deadly, particularly to teens. In fact, motor vehiclecrashes are the No. 1 cause of death for U.S. teens, according to the Centersfor Disease Control and Prevention, and drivers ages 16 to 19 are four times

more likely to crash than older drivers.

College Majors That Are Invaluable

You may have seen a web-based story recently thatquestioned the use ulness o several majors that come

out o the agricultural sciences. Those o us in the businesso higher education and agriculture were astounded bythe misin ormation in that report. At Ohio State, or example,more than 90 percent o our graduates have a job or arepursuing advanced degrees within six months o graduation.

And or good reason: The world needs people educatedin the science o agriculture, and will continue to needthose people. Consider this: Our planet recently reachedthe 7 billion population mark and the United Nationsestimates we will have 2.3 billion more people to eedby the year 2050. We must address how to eed allthese people with little expansion o land; in a way thatconserves our water resources; and in a ashion thatsociety judges acceptable and even more respect ulo our environment. In addition, those in agriculture will

make important contributions to our countrys energyrequirements and will help provide eedstocks or otherindustrial materials. To meet these challenges, a growingnumber o passionate, smart, and well-prepared peoplehave a lot o work to do. And I talk to these peopleevery day in our campus classrooms, labs, and ields. Agriculture has been one o the bright spots in the U.S.economy during the current recession and incredibleopportunities exist or new economic development. Ourgraduates are currently writing their own story, and theheadline reads: College Majors That Are Invaluable. Tohear how our Midwestern land-grant deans respondedto the web report, go to http://c aes.osu.edu .
