Preserving Livestock Genetic Diversity
The National Animal Germplasm Program is working to save livestock genetic diversity for the future, as insurance against disease or poor breeding practices.
Just as the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway is striving to preserve irreplaceable seeds for future generations, the National Animal Germplasm Program (NAGP) in Fort Collins, Colorado, has a mission to preserve livestock genetic diversity. Working as part of the Agricultural Research Service, the NAGP has built a germplasm resource base that reflects the diversity of current livestock populations. The NAGP now holds nearly a million DNA samples from over 150 breeds of domesticated animals — the world’s largest assortment of livestock genetic material.

Discover Versatile Compact Tractors
Save time and labor by adding modern horsepower to your homestead with these versatile compact tractors.
No single piece of equipment can save you as much time and effort on your homestead as a good tractor. Today’s tractors mow, dig, move, plow, till, scrape, grade and even generate electricity more efficiently than ever before.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the right tractor, when properly equipped, can save the rural property owner or small farmer many hours of labor each year. And it’s no exaggeration to say that the wrong tractor will waste hundreds of hours of your time and make you want to pull your hair out.
So before you buy your first tractor — or replace the old workhorse — it’s important to understand what’s available for use on a small farm or acreage and how you might put it to use. (See our Compact Tractor Comparison chart in the Image Gallery to compare brands and models. — MOTHER EARTH NEWS)
