Program Description The Department has received over 1,080 grant applications and has approved over $2.9 million in funding for 281 projects since the program began in 1989. Project categories include: Alternative Markets and Specialty Crops, Cropping Systems and Soil Fertility, Energy, Fruits and Vegetables, and Livestock. The grant projects, located throughout the state of Minnesota, are described in Greenbook 2010. Grants provide a maximum of $25,000 for on-farm demonstrations that last up to 3 years. The projects demonstrate farming methods or systems that increase energy efficiency, reduce agricultural chemical usage, and show environmental and economic benefits. A Technical Review Panel evaluates the applications on a competitive basis and makes recommendations to the Commissioner of Agriculture for approval. The Technical Review Panel is made up of farmers, university agricultural researchers, extension agents, and educators and works with assistance from the Sustainable Agriculture and Integrated Pest Management Program staff. Grant Summaries The project summaries that follow are descriptions of objectives, methods, and findings of individual grant projects funded in the past 3 years. To find out more details about these projects, contact the principal investigators directly through the listed telephone numbers, addresses, and email addresses.

  • Terra Australis 30
    terra australis 30 Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

  • Changing Farming Methods in County Monaghan
    Ulster Folklife, Vol. 57, 2014 Changing Farming Methods in County Monaghan By JONATHAN BELL and MERVYN wATSON Research for this article was carried out in 2008 as part of a project organised by Monaghan County Museum, and funded by the Heritage Council. Most of County Monaghan lies within the ‘drumlin belt’ of south Ulster. Drumlins are low, rounded hills made up of glacial deposits. They are rarely more than a few hundred feet in height, and the highest point in Monaghan, in the north west of the county, is just 1230 feet (369 metres). Patrick Kavanagh wrote grimly about ‘the stony grey soil of Monaghan,’ but some parts of the county are noted for their good soils. In the 1830s, for example, the soil of Aughnabog and surrounding parishes was described as ‘a rich … alluvial soil … peculiarly adopted for agriculture,’ and in Currin parish the soil was said to be rich and fertile, and ‘exuberantly productive.’1 Landlords In the nineteenth century, the biggest landowner in County Monaghan was Evelyn Philip Shirley, who owned 26,386 acres in the Barony of Farney.2 Landlords aimed at maximising the rents they could obtain from their tenants, and relationships could be very hostile. For example, in 1843, the Shirley’s agent w.S Trench instigated a riot when he told a mass meeting of tenants that he would ‘collect the[ir] rents at the point of a bayonet if necessary.’3 As elsewhere in Ireland, the extent to which landlords became involved in the day to day management of their estates varied.
