Agricultural Technology Research Program Annual Report, 2007

Abstract

Fiscal Year 2007 was another strong year for the Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP) as progress was made on several priority research fronts along with a continued tradition of outreach/assistance to the industry. In addition, it saw the return of research on workplace safety, and the generation of a concept proposal for a new innovative Engineering Research Center. In all, 39 technical assists were provided to Georgia-based industry members on an "as requested" basis, more than 70 articles and technical presentations on research discoveries and emerging technology trends were produced, and 2 patents, 1 provisional patent, and 4 records of invention were generated. The program also continued its successful coordination of the National Safety Conference for the Poultry Industry.
