A Happy Birthday, etc.

We didn't go out of the building today and made some progress on my picture scanning project. This one is from my June Birthday in 1988. We had the Folks down for a Vegetable Beef Soup lunch with all the trimmings. According to my Journal, it was the 8th consecutive day over 100 degrees. Julie and I went swimming that afternoon. Carolyn and Ben had gone to Lincoln and the Highway had "buckled" down by the airport. It cooled off the following day.
We had an interesting call from Jon this afternoon telling of some of the reorganization that is underway in USDA. He will become part of the Farm Production Business Center (FPBC) under Assistant Secretary Northey. He will be sending us more details in the near future.

Now, we will discuss a classification of crops based on their use in the field in different cropping systems; Crop Classification based on Purpose in field (article cover) 1. Catch crops or Contingent Crops Catch crops are cultivated in the field to catch the forthcoming season. The main reason for their plantation is that the main crop has failed in the field due to any biotic or abiotic stress. Hence, these crops are cultivated in the field for a number of reason; � They are fast growth rate and short duration crops. � They can be easily harvested or used in the field at any desired time (for example, as green manure). � They are easily adaptable to the season, soil and fa

Fungi have cell walls that contain chitin and glucans (but no cellulose) as the skeletal components. What is Phylogenetic Classification?
