Abstract
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has had funding difficulties because its energy research requires a longer research period compared with ERDA's orientation to rapid development and commercialization. Not enough money has come from ERDA to support the traditional method of research done by USDA, whose general research funds are committed to other priority programs. The USDA and state agricultural experiment station (SAES) need continuity in their funding if they are to follow up new technologies by modifying present systems or developing new systems for the food industry. Although the problem may soon be resolved, it is important to develop faster ways of applying new technologies and to improve interagency responses to priority needs. Several priority items are suggested.
