This year’s theme is
“American Agriculture
- Growing Better Every
Day,” with a focus on
alternative uses for agri
cultural products.
The economic and
environmental benefits
of new agricultural uses
are astounding and pro
vide promise for deve
loping rural communi
ties. Now crops can be
produced and processed
all in the same com
munity and that means
jobs.
National Agriculture
Day on March 20 offers
a unique opportunity to
let the millions of
Americans who are fed
and clothed by Ameri
can producers know
that we are truly grow
ing better every day and
that new uses are an
important part of that
growth.
Abundant traditional
crops and a variety of
non-traditional crops
can be used to their full
potential, replacing
non-renewable resour
ces with renewable
environment friendly
ones. Com, for exam
ple, is already being
used to make fuel and
biodegradable plastics.
The Alternative
Agriculture Research
and Commercialization
Center (AARC) is an
independent entity
within the USDA that
facilitates and accel
erates development and
commercialization of
industrial products
manufactured from
farm and forestry
materials. AARC has
made a substantial
investment in bringing
new uses to market and
is eager to bring them to
the public’s attention.
Milk by-products are
now being used to make
biodegradable diaper
tape, helping to solve
growing waste disposal
problems.
Wool is being used as
an effective agent in
absorbing oil from
spills which have pol
luted waters and
harmed animals. The
wool is then recycled
for other uses.
Peanuts and soy
beans are now being
