The New Uses Council has selected Bob Harris, director of Nebraska's Energy Office, as its Chairman for 1998. The Council, which was established in 1990, works to expand the development and commercialization of new industrial, energy, pharmaceutical and non-food uses of agricultural products from both traditional commodities and new crops.
"New uses" present an increasing number of value-added
opportunities
for agriculture and are based on providing competitive, environmentally-improved
products from renewable resources. For more information, visit the Council's
