Answer to Question 1

ANS:
In the undeveloped countries of the world, many engineers, teachers, and technicians have sought simple, tough, reliable machines to improve agriculture. In such countries, the United States highly developed, complex, computerized, and expensive machinery does not work for long. Most countries do not have people trained for the variety of agriculture mechanics jobs that are needed to support U.S. agriculture.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:
Mastitis is an infection of the milk-secreting glands in milk-producing animals. The resulting loss of milk production adds millions of dollars yearly to the cost of milk in the United States. Recent research efforts resulted in the development of abraded plastic loops for insertion into cow udders. The procedure resulted in a reduction in clinical mastitis of 75 percent. The reduction in infections resulted in increased milk production, averaging nearly 4 lbs. of milk per cow per day.
