ABSTRACT Previous researchers demonstrated the ability to adapt an AgLeader® Cotton Monitor to a peanut combine. It was demonstrated that the field weight could be accurately predicted with average errors of less than 10% across all trials when at least five calibration loads are applied. This project focused on expanding previous work performed at the University of Georgia and other peanut optical yield monitor work by incorporating a protective deflector plate for the sensors, obtaining multiple field weights, and using the peanut sale sheets to correlate yield monitor yield to sale weight. This study was a two-university, two-state effort, including Oklahoma State University (Oklahoma), and Mississippi State University (Mississippi). Data collected during this study included multiple loads which included yield monitor weight, field weight, field moisture content, and all the information presented on the standard USDA peanut grade sheet, when available. The multi-state effort allowed for the incorporation of the two major peanut types and for the incorporation of different soil types. The goal of this study was to develop guidelines for using, calibrating, and adapting the AgLeader® Cotton Monitor for peanut harvest. Five calibration loads referenced to buy-point net weight were typically needed to bring error within acceptable limits. Results indicated that multiple local calibrations were needed to ensure high data validity and yield estimation across multiple harvest environments. The data showed that peanut type (virginia, runner and spanish) and variable soil conditions impacted yield estimation.

David Starkweather is the cellist on the faculty of the University of Georgia. He grew up near San Francisco, then attended the Eastman School of Music. This was followed by four years of graduate work at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he studied cello with Bernard Greenhouse. In 1985, Starkweather spent half a year in Switzerland for intensive work with Pierre Fournier, earning the famous French cellist's accolade as “one of the best cellists of his generation.” He was awarded a certificate of merit as a semi-finalist in the 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition. Starkweather has been featured on the National Public Radio show Performance Today and in. a PBS one-hour recital program televised nationwide. A review in the Atlanta Constitution praised his “sensitive phrasing and Starkweather's obvious technical facility.” His previous articles for AST were “Methods of Shifting” (Winter 1988) and “Choice of Fingerings” (Summer 1990).

Small fruit production in the southern United States has been impacted greatly by fruit breeders this century. This workshop, co-sponsored by the American Pomological Society, includes presentations from individuals who have contributed collectively over 150 years to small fruit and grape breeding. James N. Moore has conducted breeding at the University of Arkansas, developing 30 cultivars. His presentation on brambles outlines achievements and future opportunities for improvement. Arlen Draper has been involved with the development of 61 small fruit cultivars while working with the USDA-ARS with an emphasis on blueberry. His presentation focuses on blueberry breeding and provides insights into the future of new blueberry cultivar developments. Gene Galletta has conducted small fruit breeding at North Carolina State University and USDA-ARS and has been involved with the development of 50 cultivars. His presentation reflects on the history of strawberry breeding in the South and the challenges that lie ahead. Ron Lane has served as a fruit breeder and horticulturist at the University of Georgia Experiment Station at Griffin and his work has emphasized the development of muscadine grape cultivars. The past and future of muscadine and bunch grape breeding is discussed in his paper. Articles from all authors in this workshop will be published in Fruit Varieties Journal in 1997.

Good Possibility

To my surprise, my year as GODORT chair is over. Equally surprising: it has been just over a year since I left the University of Georgia to move into library administration at North Dakota State University. While I was in fact job hunting when I agreed to run for chair in 2017, at the time it did not occur to me that there was a good possibility that these two challenging situations would not only overlap but happen simultaneously. Over this past year, I told many people that had I known that would be the case, I never would have run for GODORT chair. In retrospect, I am not so sure that is true. Job hunting is at best a crapshoot; with so many variables and uncertainties, you rarely know how things will go until you get a job offer. I had interviews for jobs I thought would be too much of a stretch given my experience and heard nothing from places I assumed would at least give me a phone interview. My favorite rejection letter was a terse, two sentence email with the subject line “Not Selected” that came months after the position in question was filled. Talk about breaking it to you gently! Although I was getting enough interviews to think I would find a new job at some point, at the time I had no idea when that would be; for all I knew, I would still be at UGA when I started my term as GODORT chair. Ultimately, I decided that being in the middle of a job search was no reason not to run, and so I did; the rest is history.

Ether Synthesis

We found (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 3545) that the superiority of KH over NaH in the Williamson ether synthesis was particularly marked with congested partners such as 1. Geert-Jan Boons of the University of Georgia described (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4636) the selective removal of each of the several orthogonal protecting groups decorating the disaccharide 3. Yutaka Nishiyama of Kansai University reported (Synlett 2010, 3089) a Re catalyst for the selective acylation of an ether 5, to give the ester 6, from the less substituted side. Duen-Ren Hou of National Central University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 6143) that triphenylphosphine hydrobromide was a convenient reagent for debenzylation, converting 7 into 8. Junghyun Chae of Sungshin Women’s University established (Synlett 2010, 1651) that simply microwaving an aromatic methyl ether 9 in an ionic liquid led to smooth demethylation. Allylic selenides such as 11 can serve as masked allylic alcohols. Wei-Ming Xu of Hangzhou Normal University demonstrated (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4431) that the polystyrene-supported Se resin facilitated the purification of 11. Oxidation followed by sigmatropic rearrangement then installed the axial secondary alcohol. Clemens Richert of the Universität Stuttgart devised (Synlett 2010, 2267) a reagent 13 for the one-step protection of an amine 14 as its azidomethyl carbamate 15. Xueshun Jia of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 6049) that a substoichiometric quantity of Sm metal was sufficient to mediate the acylation of the congested amine 16. Frederik Rombouts of Johnson & Johnson, Beerse, and Andrés A. Trabanco of Johnson & Johnson, Toledo, found (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 4815) that the triflic acid debenzylation of 18 was also promoted by microwave irradiation. Mark D. Spicer and John A. Murphy of the University of Strathclyde designed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 15462) a stoichiometric Ni reagent that deprotected even the unreactive sulfonamide 20. Steven M. Weinreb of Pennsylvania State University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 3555) that an oxime can be deprotected by Fe-mediated reduction of the pivalate 22. David A. Colby of Purdue University protected (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5588) the ketone of 24 by forming the adduct with methoxymethylamine, allowing selective addition to the ester, to give 25.

Regional cooperative efforts such as the Southern Association of Agricultural Experiment Station Director's Advisory Committees, Development Committees, Multi-State Research Fund supported projects, and Southern Extension/Research Activities Information Exchange Groups have been in existence and have been successful for many years. However, there are opportunities and compelling circumstances for more intensive regionalized efforts, including multi-state faculty positions and multi-state cooperatives. The University of Georgia is involved in three multistate horticulture faculty positions—an orchard floor management specialist (shared with Clemson University and North Carolina State University), an apple research position (shared with Clemson University, North Carolina State University, and The University of Tennessee), and an apple extension specialist (shared with The University of Tennessee)—and one multi-state cooperative, the Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium (supported by Clemson University, North Carolina State University, The University of Georgia, and The University of Tennessee). Justification for these regional efforts includes the following: 1) federal legislation now mandates multi-institutional and integrated (research and extension) activities; 2) state boundaries form artificial barriers that are transparent to clientele groups, problems, and solutions; 3) decreasing state budgets have resulted in faculty and staff reductions at many institutions, with a subsequent decline in services to clientele groups; and 4) in times of limited funding, universities must focus on areas of excellence and collaborate with other institutions to fill in the remaining gaps. Benefits we have realized from these efforts include the following: 1) better service for minor commodities; 2) better educational programs due to larger venues and pooled overhead funds; 3) enhanced communication among institutions leading to increased cooperative efforts in other areas; and 4) reduced duplicity among institutions resulting in freed up resources to address other high priority areas. There are challenges unique to regional cooperatives: 1) travel distances for extension faculty may be increased and require a high degree of planning and coordination; 2) depending on the housing location of the shared specialist, response time can be greater than if program were housed in-state; and 3) shared programs require open, effective, and increased communications among cooperators. In our experience, the benefits of regionalization far outweigh the additional challenges encountered. However, to be successful: 1) the whole must be greater than the sum of the parts; 2) each partner must have identify preservation; 3) stakeholders must realize value from the programs and must be kept abreast of program successes to assure their continued support.
