The better part of communication is listening: Ag Experiment Station Director Fred Cholick plans to communicate by doing a lot of listening. What he hears will help him develop a better understanding of the needs of farmers and ranchers, scientists, and other South Dakotans. [p] 1
New director encourages integrated approach to ag research: All the resources necessary for the production of food and fiber-humans, soil, air, plants, animals-come under the umbrella of agriculture. All these resources will affect the course of SDSU ag research. [p] 2
New approach unlocks secrets of soybean plant: Take scientists from a variety of disciplines-each tackling soybean problems from a different direction---put them together, establish strong ties and easy communication, and you deliver greater productivity and larger profits for producers. [p] 5
Grape genes give clues to winter survival: SDSU plant physiologist Anne Fennell chose grapes for her winter hardiness research because they are easy to grow and reach fruiting stage in just 2 or 3 years. The study results will be applicable to all woody, fruit-bearing plants. [p] 10
A day in the life of a research station: A research station is part farm and part outdoor laboratory. Most people see their area station only during its field day tours. But stations are buzzing with activity the rest of the year too. [p] 12

Women in ag Society tends to picture farmers and ranchers strictly as men, but it's time for that perception to change. A survey indicates that farm and ranch women are making a significant contribution to South Dakota agriculture. [p] 3
Retained ownership A group of South Dakota cow-calf producers tries something new: keeping control of their steers in the feedlot and learning new risks, new marketing techniques--and fully expecting higher profits. [p] 8
Adding on Animal scientists will benefit from construction and renovation of swine, cattle, and sheep facilities recently begun at SDSU. [p] 12
Launder with care Pesticides on your clothes put you and your entire family at risk. Proper protective clothing and proper laundry techniques are essential for safety. [p] 13

The 'treasured exception' Sometimes, an animal that doesn't fit the mold can.tell us more about all animals, even us, than any "average" critter could. [p] 7
Life in the old tree yet: Most windbreaks are past their prime but cleaning up the weeds gives them more years [p] 10
No other way: 'We are all animal welfarists," out of our own economic interests and also because we care. SDSU research guidelines are strict. [p] 13
They come in all sizes Twenty years ago, "large" feedlots produced 16% of state's fed cattle. Now they are turning out 64%. [p] 14
