      <description><![CDATA[Pecans are a possible feedstock for the biodiesel industry. Pecan nuts contain a high amount of fatty acid well-suited for biodiesel production. Given their high value as a foodstuff, the nuts are too valuable to be crushed for oil.

          <description><![CDATA[Manag­ing crops on the loess soils of the Mid­south is difficult because they contain little organic matter and erode easily. Generally, these fields are small com­pared to delta alluvial fields; however, they often have considerable variability in soil texture. The variability is often created by land-leveling for irrigation and drainage. Variability presents producers with an opportunity to manage these problems in a site-specific manner. - Full Content set to .]]></description>
