Abstract: Mr. Gavett presented well the differences perceived between ERDA and USDA approaches to energy research. As he indicated, ERDA concentrates on rapid development and early commercial adoption of research derived technology. USDA and its State agricultural experiment station (SAES) cooperators spend more time researching a topic and solving most technical problems; only then is a project released for information, technology transfer, and commercial adoption.
