3 MORE CROP FOR THE DROP A Global Search Drought Tolerant Soybeans via the USDA National Plant Germplasm System Thomas E. Carter, Jr. USDA-Agricultural Research Service Raleigh, NC Thomas.Carter@ars.usda.gov
4 New Crop Varieties that Use Agricultural Water More Efficiently Thomas E. Carter, Jr. USDA-Agricultural Research Service Raleigh, NC
5 DRY WEATHER is the GREATEST GLOBAL BARRIER to FOOD PRODUCTION
6 Plants need water, a lot of it. Even Weeds need water
7 Irrigated Non-Irrigated Comparison of irrigated and non-irrigated corn grown in Helena, AR.
8 A Law of Nature CO 2 H 2 0 Plants Must Lose Water to Grow CO 2 H 2 0
9 It takes about 500,000 gallons of water to grow an acre of crop.
10 This water tower holds about 300,000 gallons of water, Enough for 3/5 of an acre.
11 Bean Economics Only about 15% of soybeans are irrigated
12 70 Million Acres of Soybean in the USA About 115 Million water towers We are heavily dependent on mother nature!

17 Land for agriculture in United States is decreasing (USDA Economic Research Service, 2011) Buy land. They ain t making any more of the stuff. Will Rogers
18 During the Green Revolution in the 1970 s World Food Stocks were 1 year Supply Now: 3 months Less room for mistakes- Or Bad Weather
19 The Big Question. How can we meet the challenge?
20 What Can We Do in Agriculture? Develop More Efficient Water Use Practices Develop Agricultural Crops That Use Water More Efficiently Simply Irrigating Crops is Not a long term Answer- it takes fossil fuel to pump water- And in many cases fossil water
21 How Do We Get More Desert Survival Does Crop for the Drop? NOT Feed the World- Or make Agriculture GM or Biotech profitable Approaches have NOT Worked. Why not move cactus genes into crops?
22 Let s Look at Existing Crop Variation in Other Countries in Dry Areas More Empirical than cactus- More likely to Work Approach based on a long history of success. But Never Applied to Drought

45 How can we make soy more stress tolerant? Opportunity (not apocalypse) for Public Funding - Public concern for agriculture & weather never so great as Now. We call this momentum Public Researchers have learned a lot & are Ready to Partner with private sector, thanks in part to USB Future Funding & ADVANCES will depend in large part on enthusiasm of stakeholders- YOU
46 Why haven t we made the soy crop stress tolerant already? Funding has always lagged for Public Research on weather stress. Not much to go on scientifically at First- Had to build a Knowledge Base. United Soy Board The main long term support of public research on weather stress- Critical factor over other crops.
