Notable ARS achievements, continued

Additional achievements from ARS research include:

• Development of food dehydration technology at the USDA-ARS Eastern Regional Research Center
• Development of methods for producing penicillin during WWII at the USDA-ARS National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research
• Frozen food technology research at the USDA-ARS Western Regional Research Center

Also, here is a source for the permanent press cotton achievement: http://portal.acs.org/portal/PublicWebSite/education/whatischemistry/landmarks/cottonproducts/index.htm

I work with the organization that produced these sources, so in the interest of maintaining NPOV, I ask that someone else review the sources and make the changes if they deem it appropriate. Thank you. KLindblom (talk) 22:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
