Full Text Resources
	Agricultural Fact Book
	A handy reference tool that offers information about US Agriculture and describes all USDA programs. It also provides useful information about food safety, nutrition, rural issues, research, education, and natural resources.
	Alternative and Industrial Uses of Wheat
	The properties that make wheat suitable in food products— gluten (protein) and starch—also make wheat functional in nonfood and industrial applications. Wheat gluten is unique due to its ability to be elastic, bind water and form films that can be stabilized with heat. These properties render wheat gluten useful for the preparations of adhesives, coatings, polymers and resins. The page then goes on to list other products that utilize wheat.
	American Society of Agricultural Engineers
	An educational & scientific organization dedicated to the advancement of engineering in the development of efficient & environmentally sensitive methods of producing food, fiber, timber, & renewable energy sources for an ever-increasing world population.
	Barley
	Provides information on uses and cultivars of barley produced in Northern Britain.
	Cereal Recommended Lists
	Lists of recommended cereal crops varieties suitable for growing in different seasons and for different purposes.
	Distillers Grains as a Protein and Energy Supplement for Dairy Cattle
	Distillers grains are coproducts produced from the fermentation of grains for alcohol. With the increased use of grain alcohol as an alternative fuel, the opportunity now exists for using a substantial quantity of distillers grains in dairy rations.
	Energy from Agriculture Conference
	A website with links to the presentations and papers presented at this conference. The conference aimed to provide farmers and ranchers, rural community leaders, energy executives and state and regional government officials with practical, science-based information on agriculture’s role in energy production
	Equivalent Weights of Grains and Oilseeds
	Presents the effect of water on the weight of grain. This allows for a better estimate of the amount of shrinkage to expect as grain dries, the adjustments required when marketing wet grain, or the amount of penalty there is for overdrying grain.
	Evaluation of the Effect of Tocopherols on the Stability of Biodiesel
	This is a research paper containing references to other papers. It is available for download in printer-friendly format also.
	ICC Online-Dictionary/Glossary of Cereal Science and Technology
	Multilingual dictionary with an integrated search engine and glossary. Select your language, enter the term and the system will translate the term and present you with the term in 6 other languages.
	Industrial Uses of Agricultural Materials
	Examines use of agricultural materials by industry.
	National Grains Industry EMS Project
	An Australian project aimed at promoting the benefits and principles of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) to all Australian growers and to making systems available to all farmers wishing to participate. The project also aims to promote higher adoption rates in agri-ecological zones where action is needed to address priority environmental threats, and to facilitate the development of niche markets, particularly in the barley and oilseeds sectors. The site contains background information about the project, survey data, benchmarking, and papers and reports including a scientific review paper, results of a market survey, etc.
	Nebraska Ethanol Industry : Ethanol Plants in Nebraska
	The Nebraska Ethanol Board created this web resource for communities wishing to attract an ethanol plant—and to developers who are looking to locate an ethanol plant in the state. The site provides a listing of all ethanol plants in operation in Nebraska as well as a map with information about each plant in the state.
	New and Improved Wheat Uses Audit: Final Report
	The usage of corn and soybeans has expanded beyond traditional consumption bases. So the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) commissioned Sparks Companies, Inc. to conduct a comprehensive audit of new and improved uses for wheat. Utilizing a combination of interviews/surveys and a literature review, 3 categories were identified and deemed to have sufficient probability of success. The 3 categories are: New or improved uses of wheat; new or improved wheat characteristics; and new or improved uses of wheat by-products. The report investigated a number of specific new or improved uses/characteristics in depth.
	New Milling Methods Improve Corn Ethanol Production
	Discusses research in new ways to reduce the costs of producing ethanol and other corn products.
	New Varieties and Techniques Make Barley Better For Fuel and Food
	New varieties of barley could help solve two national problems: energy dependence and obesity. That’s because some parts of barley are excellent for making fuel ethanol, while other parts are nutritious and naturally low in calories...
	Teagasc (IAFDA) research reports on "Cereals and Other Crops"
	Contains full text research reports in both HTML and PDF version. Covers cereal grains post harvest and grain quality management issues. Organized chronologically by year.
	The Potential of Recovered Vegetable Oil and Tallow as Vehicle Fuels
	This is a research paper containing references to other papers. It is available for download in printer-friendly format also.
	Types of Oils
	Describes the primary oil seed crops -- plants and trees. Provides brief information about the oil. Lists the typical composition of each oil by percentage of saturates, monounsaturates and polyunsaturates.
	Wheat: the big picture
	Describes the life cycle of WHEAT, from seed germination to harvest ripe with special emphasis on the development of the grain after fertilisation. There are supplementary sections on the development of the wheat apex and the embryo. The site aims to provide a reference picture library of all stages of wheat development.
