Utilizing annual forages to extend the grazing season can improve late-season forage production and quality, cow performance, and soil health; while providing a cost-effective alternative to drylot feeding. A four-year study tested three annual forage treatments using a single, dual, and dual crop with a herbicide burndown response variable (1 L/ha glyphosate, 250 mL/ha dicamba, 250 mL/ha 2,4-D) system. Treatments were foxtail millet (Setaria italica), turnip (Brassica rapa), a cocktail mix of six complementary species, and native range (control). Results found grazing foxtail millet in the single crop system and the dual crop with spray system, plus grazing turnip and cocktail mix in the dual crop with spray system, all provided on average cost-effective grazing options compared to grazing native range and feeding in a drylot system. The opportunity of increasing land-use efficiency was greatest with the dual crop with spray system, which was the most economical option in 2010.

The approach to the department's capstone design course has changed considerably since the 1960s. The general evolution of the course has proceeded from extended laboratory exercises to individuals working on self-defined projects to team-based projects. Interactions between the capstone course and other courses have been attempted with varying success. This paper presents the development of the NDSU Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department' s capstone course and thoughts on possible future modifications to the course. / Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering / College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies

The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive data base of the status, role, and functions of athletic directors in South Dakota. Because the position had never been formally studied in this state, school administrators and school board members had no reliable data base to use when making policy and personnel decisions.The population surveyed consisted of all 191 athletic directors in South Dakota. One hundred and seventy eight athletic directors responded for a return rate of 93.2%. Differences among Class AA (16 largest schools), Class A (next 64 largest schools), and Class B (111 smallest schools) athletic directors were calculated using a chi-square test of independence with significance at p-value <.05.The surveys and subsequential statistical tests revealed that the larger the school in South Dakota, the more likely athletic directors were assigned full-time status, administrative status, secretarial assistance, a greater weekly time commitment to their jobs, more sports to supervise, more staff members to supervise and evaluate, an administrator to supervise and evaluate them, and a higher part-time stipend. The larger the school, the less likely athletic directors were assigned coaching duties. Larger schools were also more likely to employ athletic directors with more years of experience in teaching and coaching than were smaller schools. Physical education was the primary undergraduate major of athletic directors.These findings suggest that school enrollment is an important variable determining the role, status, and job scope of South Dakota athletic directors. In addition, many athletic directors in the smallest schools were principals or superintendents who performed the duties of athletic director as a part of their overall administrative duties.Recommendations are made for improving role definition and further research. / Department of Educational Leadership
