When the agency began in 1953, its primary mandate was to seek methods for increasing food production. Since then, ARS scientists have helped find ways to double per-acre wheat production and triple cows' milk output. But now that we produce far more food than our collective maw can swallow--and more than we can export--ARS is setting its cross hairs on new challenges. One-fifth of the agency's $1 billion budget goes to "utilization research" to employ unused agricultural products in places other than landfills. That's where the feathers come in: America's appetite for poultry...
