...dedicated to spawning new high-yield varieties of bug-resistant wheat, potatoes, sunflowers and sugar beets. There the Northern Crop Sciences Lab, the Biosciences Research Laboratory and the Wheat Quality Laboratory attract millions each year in research grants. Nearby, the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute and the Mountain-Plains Consortium perform Washington-sanctioned studies on guardrails and scenic byways. N.D.S.U. grew so fast in the 1980s under the pork-barreling patronage of then Senator Quentin Burdick that local wags dubbed the campus "Burdickville.''

These solutions do nothing to address the diminishing of the Consortium's total resource base...
