FARMING SYSTEMS RESEARCH PAPER SERIES


 Kansas State University's Farming Systems Research (FSR) Paper Series is
 supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development Title XII
 Strengthening Grant. The goal of the Strengthening Grant is to increase the
 University's capacity for, and focus its commitment to, implementing Title XII
 agricultural and nutritional development assistance programs in less-developed
 countries. This series is maintained by the FSR Program Associates-a multi-
 disciplinary team of professors who are focusing their activities around
 applied research on farming from a systems perspective.
 Those faculty involved in the FSR Group (past and present) include
Ulysses Acasio (Grain Science and Industry), Charles Bussing and Duane Nellis
(Geography), James Converse, Cornelia Butler Flora, Barry Michie, and
Martin Ottenheimer (Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work), J. Arthur Hobbs
and L. Van Withee (Agronomy), Berl Koch and John Wheat (Animal Sciences and
Industry), George Larson (Agricultural Engineering), David Norman (Economics
and Agricultural Economics), Meredith Smith (Foods and Nutrition), and
Dwight 'iebe (Adult and Occupational Education).
 The purpose of the FSR Paper Series is to provide an avenue for dissem-
 inating information on FSR to those interested. Publications to be included
 fall into the following categories: updated bibliographies from KSU's FSR data
 base; proceedings from KSU's annual Farming Systems Symposium; selected papers
 presented in KSU's FSR Seminar Series; selected papers prepared by KSU's
 Program Associates.
 Copies of these papers may be obtained by writing: Strengthening Grant
Coordinator, Internaticnal Agricultural Programs, Waters Hall, Kansas State
University, Manhattan, Kansas 66506 (913-532-5715). There will be a charge
for selected papers and multiple copies to help defray cost of printing.
