Agricultural Research
The population of the planet has increased by more than seven billion since the start of formal agricultural research in 1843. In this fascinating book, Gale Buchanan explores where and how agricultural research has made all our lives better.
Branch Research Stations in Agriculture
Branch research stations fulfill a critical role in the success of agricultural research. The development of these stations requires individuals with unique skill sets in new, innovative technology and a sound knowledge of production agriculture. Branch Research Stations in Agriculture presents a comprehensive examination of the BRS system in the United States, a topic on which there has been little written to date. Author Gale Buchanan provides a historical perspective, describing the development of the foundation of the BRS system as it exists today. Then he explores the system's function, operation, and future, illustrating the power and relevance of branch research stations to present-day agricultural research. An appreciation and understanding of the BRS system will help ensure a bright future for US agriculture. Offering extensive resources for agricultural researchers, this study provides a thorough consideration of the American system of branch research stations in agriculture.

Carol
Being married to your best friend is a sacred opportunity. Gale Buchanan shares an evocative, heartfelt, and heart-wrenching memoir of his beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime love with his wife and best friend, Carol. After 7 1/2 years of marriage while completing requirements for the PhD and then working tirelessly towards earning promotion and tenure, Gale Buchanan was unexpectedly, newly divorced.

Feeding the World
The astounding success of agricultural research has enabled farmers to produce increasingly more—and more kinds—of food throughout the world. But with a projected 9 billion people to feed by 2050, veteran researcher Gale Buchanan fears that human confidence in this ample supply, especially in the US, has created unrealistic expectations for the future. Without a working knowledge of what types and amounts of research produced the bounty we enjoy today, we will not be prepared to support the research necessary to face the challenges ahead, including population growth, climate change, and water and energy scarcity. In this book, Buchanan describes the historical commitment to research and the phenomenal changes it brought to our ability to feed ourselves. He also prescribes a path for the future, pointing the way toward an adequately funded, more creative agricultural research system that involves scientists, administrators, educators, farmers, politicians, and consumers; resides in one “stand alone” agency; enjoys a consistent funding stream; and operates internationally.

The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. A hearing is a meeting of the Senate, House, joint or certain Government committee that is open to the public so that they can listen in on the opinions of the legislation. Hearings can also be held to explore certain topics or a current issue. It typically takes between two months up to two years to be published. This is one of those hearings.
