For over 15 years, University of Missouri Extension conducted value added agriculture efforts in Southeast Missouri using two approaches: education and facilitation. Educational efforts informed clients of business opportunities and development methods, while facilitation organized farmer groups, networked with agencies, and acquired grants to develop enterprises. These efforts developed a culture of entrepreneurship in the region and resulted in new value added agriculture businesses, including biodiesel facilities, a rice drying operation, and agricultural tourism enterprises.

VALUE ADDED AGRICULTURE EFFORTS IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
Ayers, V.H.1
1. Agriculture and Rural Development Specialist, University of Missouri Extension, Bloomfield, Missouri 63825

Abstract
For over 15 years, there have been numerous value added agriculture efforts in Southeast Missouri, conducted by University of Missouri Extension. These efforts were part of a two prong approach
consisting of value added agriculture education and facilitation. Educational efforts included meetings, conferences and personal contact with the objective of informing clientele of both value added
agriculture business opportunities and methods to develop those opportunities. Facilitation incorporated the organization of farmer groups, networking with other agencies and non‐profits and grant
acquisition to develop value added agriculture enterprises. Facilitation efforts were based on the concept of a learning organization, in which the farmer participants engaged in a learning process about
the enterprise, which typically produced a feasibility study of the value added agriculture enterprise under consideration; and then the farmer participants questioned the assumptions and results from
this study. The educational and facilitation efforts had both direct and indirect influence on new value added agriculture enterprises in the region.
The Goals of the efforts are to (1) develop value added agriculture enterprises in Southeast Missouri and (2) create a culture of entrepreneurship in the region.

Cellphone Distraction - Final-2

Jehlad Hickson

This study investigated the effects of cellphone distraction on cognitive task performance. Participants watched a 10-minute video while some received more text messages than others to induce different levels of distraction. After, all participants completed a 30-question multiple choice test. The results found no significant difference in test scores between the high and low distraction groups, suggesting that cellphone distraction levels did not influence cognitive task performance. Limitations included issues with the technology used and controlling participant behavior. Future research should address these limitations and further explore how cellphones may impact academic tasks.

parboil-rice

Sajjad Haider Malik

This pre-feasibility study examines establishing a parboiled rice processing plant in Sindh, Pakistan. Key points include: - Sindh is well-suited for this due to its large rice production, especially of non-basmati varieties in high demand internationally. - The proposed plant would include machinery for parboiling, husking, polishing, sorting, and storage. It would process 32 tons of rice per day. - Financial analysis shows the project has a 73% internal rate of return, 1.95 year payback period, and is financially viable with 55% debt financing.

The cellphone: ultimate distraction or powerful learning tool?

Steve Vosloo

The document discusses the potential of cellphones as learning tools in contrast to their traditional use as distractions. While cellphones allow informal, active learning through connectivity and social interaction, schools typically focus on formal, passive learning. The document also outlines several South African educational projects that leverage cellphones, such as a math tutoring service and an interactive game to improve girls' math skills. However, it notes challenges like distraction, antisocial behavior, and costs that must be addressed to fully exploit cellphones' educational affordances.

The specific objectives are to examine the extent to which funding, market participation and environmental sustainability has enhanced the productive capacities Members of Rice Farmers Cooperative Societies in Anambra State, Nigeria. The population of the study consists of 613 registered rice farmers cooperative with membership strength of 7255 famers. A sample of 379 was determined using Taro Yamani formula. Data collected for the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics frequencies and percentages and the inferential statistics such as test statistics and the linear regression model. From the analysis of the study, findings revealed that funding, market participation and environmental sustainability were found to be statistically significant in influencing output of members of rice farmers’ cooperative societies in Anambra State. Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made To enhance the output of members of rice farmers’ cooperative societies in Anambra State, the government should initiate a supervised credit scheme that will improve the capital base of the rice farmers and income by extension. The government should ensure that beneficiaries adhere strictly to market participation arrangement to avail the farmers the opportunity for a better bargain for their output. Critical infrastructure should be put in place by the government to enhance environmental sustainability in agricultural production.

This study evaluated the use of Environmentally Smart Nitrogen (ESN), a polymer-coated urea fertilizer, for wheat production in northwest Ohio. A medium maturity wheat variety was planted into soybean stubble with 5 nitrogen treatments applied at green-up: urea, ESN, and blends with 25%, 50%, and 75% ESN mixed with urea. Grain yield was highest for urea and blends with at least 50% urea. ESN alone yielded less than urea but had a higher test weight. The number of heads was lower for ESN than urea. ESN may be a viable nitrogen source when blended with at least 50% urea.

This document describes a study demonstrating how managing hay feeding can build soil fertility without commercial fertilizers. Over two years, hay was unrolled across demonstration fields rather than feeding in the same area each time. Soil samples showed that phosphorus increased by 22 lbs/A and potassium increased by 172 lbs/A in year 1, and phosphorus increased again by 22 lbs/A and potassium by 148 lbs/A in year 2. By spreading nutrients from the hay and livestock waste over larger areas, soil fertility was increased without purchasing commercial fertilizers, saving producers money and preventing the accumulation of phosphorus and potassium in small areas.
