Agricultural lands have
been disappearing at the
rate of nearly 3 million acres
per year, according to the
Agriculture Department.
Many of these acres are
converted to urban uses or
used for highways, airports,
shopping centers and other
non-farm purposes. Some
acres are covered by water.
“If our best farmlands are
used for other purposes,”
said Bergland, “we may
face decreasing production,
increased energy needs and
higher prices for com
modities.”
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 30,1979
Bergland said the
Department’s revised land
use policy, issued last Oc
tober, shows its commitment
to assure the maintenance of
agricultural lands. WeU
roanaged farm and forest
lands often provide im
portant environmental
benefits, including wildlife
habitat, open space and
recreational opportunities,
as well as a stable economic
base, he said.

LEBANON - Want to learn
how to use the sun in your

solar power be used ef

costs of agriculture
production? This will depend
on the circumstances of the
individual farmer, but
chances are, yes, it can.
“Solar Heating for Milk
Parlors”, a United States
Department of Agriculture
publication, describes a
well-conceived combination
of energy conservation and
solar heat to significantly
reduce all major
requirements for energy in a
milking parlor: washing,
heating, milking and
refrigeration.
The 15-page booklet
describes the principles of
solar collection, guidelines
in the design of solar-heating
systems for milking parlors,
geographic area and costs
and an energy comparison
chart for typical methods
versus solar. The ex
perimental solar milking

“We need t 6 ‘evaluate the
effectiveness of the various
agricultural land protection
efforts from a national
perspective,” Warren said,
“and make this evaluation
available to state and local
government officials and
others concerned about this
problem.”
Warren also indicated that
the study would evaluate the
role of federal agencies in
agricultural land conversion
and recommend policy
changes if appropriate.
“Solar Grain Drying-
Progress and Potential’’
reports research in progress
and assesses the state of the
art of solar grain drying.
Included in the 13-page
United States Department of
Agriculture publication is an
explanation of the process of
solar energy drying grain,
solar collector efficiency and
solar energy availability. A
detailed description of solar
drying studies in progress at
eight locations in the United
States and the future of solar
grain drying is discussed.
