Executive Summary I. Report Overview         The work conducted by AES scientists is production oriented. The small size of AES and limited physical and fiscal resources limit our ability to expand into new research areas. One area that we acknowledge being insufficient in is economic analysis of our research results which would aid scientists in determining the impact of their work. All research faculty are encouraged to include an economic analysis, where appropriate, in their projects to help determine the potential benefits the work would have for local producers. In some cases this is not possible due to the nature of the project or the area of research. In other cases it is due to a lack of expertise in this area within AES. The second issue has been addressed by developing collaborations with outside resources (VI Dept of Agriculture, UVI Small Business Development Center, professionals at other institutions) for economic and marketing analysis.                          The AES Animal Science Program initiated two new Hatch projects. One will evaluate the effect of late weaning on lamb and ewe productivity in an accelerated lambing system. The other project will evaluate cow and calf production traits in beef cattle managed in defined breeding seasons in the USVI. The Animal Science Faculty began collaboration with a CES colleague at the University of Hawaii to conduct small ruminant workshops in Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands as part of a USDA CSREES grant from the Disadvantaged Farmer/Rancher Program. Using information generated at UVI, training and workshops will be provided to livestock producers in the Pacific Islands. Livestock production/management workshops were conducted in partnership with CES and the VI Dept of Agriculture. Information was presented on sheep management to local farmers. The AES cow herd was used as part of a demonstration on low impact animal handling put on by Dr. Ben Bartlett from Michigan State University in cooperation with the VI Dept. of Agriculture Veterinary services office. The Animal Science Program hosted Mr. Ben Forsyth, a Nuffield Scholar, from Australia for several days. Mr. Forsyth was traveling around the globe to visit livestock producers and see how they were working to make their operations sustainable and dealing with a variety of environmental and climate issues. He visited the cattle and sheep research facilities as well as local livestock operations to get an understanding of the issues/problems/limitations/successes associated with livestock production the USVI. Three undergraduate students were mentored in the Animal Science research lab. Two students were supported by funds from the Insular Grants program and another was supported by the VI Dept of Labor. One of the students conducted a research project using thermal imaging as a method to measure of cow body temperature. This project contributed to the data collection for the S- 1023 multistate project on heat stress in dairy cattle. The student also presented the results of her research at the UVI Student Research Symposium on the St. Thomas campus in the fall semester of 2008. The vacant staff position in the program was filled and the new person is being trained in the sheep flock management and assisting with data collection. The program joined a multistate project to take over where the Dairy Heat stress project terminated. The research to be conducted will evaluate stress in livestock and how it relates to production traits (W-1173). Hurricane Omar which hit St. Croix in October 2008 had a large impact on the operation of the program. There was a lot of damage to the sheep and cattle research facilities in the form of downed trees, damaged buildings and pens, and broken fences. Some of these repairs have not been completed yet due to slow release of emergency funds and just the magnitude of the damage. It is having some impact on functionality of the programs by limiting pen space in the sheep facility and pastures use in the cattle herd.                                           Plan Report Date Date Accepted: 07/07/09 Status: Accepted 1890 1890 1862 1862 Year:2008 1. The Merit Review Process that was Employed for this year 2. Brief Explanation 1. Actions taken to seek stakeholder input that encouraged their participation 10/01/2009 2008 University of the Virgin Islands Research Annual Report of Accomplishments and Results                           There has been no change made to the process as described in the initial Plan of Work submitted. A scientific peer review process is followed. Scientists submit three copies of their proposals to the Director, who attaches evaluation forms and sends them to three people who are qualified to judge the proposal. At least one of the reviewers is selected from CES. The reviewers are asked to rate the proposals on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest score, as to relevance and merit of the proposed project to the agricultural sector (justification). The evaluated proposals are then returned to the Director who gives the reviews to the scientist for any needed revisions. The revised proposal is then returned to the Director who verifies the improvements in writing and gives final approval.Scientists are required to publish their results but sometimes the project is completed before the PI has time to publish the results in a peer reviewed journal, so there is a lag between the project and publications.Because of the small staff size and amount of non‑research related work each faculty an staff end up doing, finding time for writing is difficult for some faculty but we are looking at methods to remedy this, such as collaborating with other institutions to train graduate students and put more emphasis on outputs such as publication in the Faculty Annual Evaluation process.

Method to identify individuals and groups Brief Explanation 10/01/2009 2008 University of the Virgin Islands Research Annual Report of Accomplishments and Results Report Date 2(A). A brief statement of the process that was used by the recipient institution to identify individuals and groups stakeholders and to collect input from them                           The AES Advisory Council meets to discuss issues of concern to the agriculture community and AES scientists continued to work in close contact with farmers as part of several research projects. The Advisory Council is composed of individuals involved in several aspects of agriculture (horticulture, livestock, and farmer’s co‑ops) from both St. Croix and St. Thomas. When needed, new members are recruited by the AES Director based on suggestions of the research faculty and existing members of the council. Research faculty present information on current projects and members of the Advisory Council express their concerns and opinions about what they see as the needs of the agriculture community. Issues are prioritized within discipline based on the input of the Advisory Council members in their role as representatives of the agriculture community. One of the high priority issues that has come up is assistance with marketing programs and educational programs for farmers. The VI Department of Agriculture has a marketing program that is supposed to be assisting farmers and this was mentioned to the Advisory Council.  Local farmers groups are trying to work with the VI Dept. of Agriculture to keep this program going. The council was told that the Cooperative Extension service has offered short courses in both plant and animal production to local farmers, with the assistance of AES faculty. Other specific issues within a field of study brought up by the Advisory Council were discussed with the appropriate research faculty. Research faculty use the feedback from the council when developing future grants and research projects. Priority is given to those ideas that are researchable within the capabilities of the research programs at AES and funding sources. Because of the small staff size and limited scope of our programs not all areas can be addressed. In cases where the topic is outside of the AES faculty area of expertise efforts are made to get information for the stakeholders from other sources and put the stakeholders in contact with other people, either within UVI or outside, who can provide assistance. The small community and high level of contact with farmers help to provide continuous input and feedback from the community regarding the work being done by AES as well as providing a means for identifying the concerns of the agricultural community. The demographics of the USVI are such that all of our stakeholders would qualify as under‑served or under‑represented populations based on factors such as race, gender, economic status and farm size.          Workshops and seminars on various topics (horticulture, animal science, aquaculture and agronomy) were conducted and feedback was received from individuals, cooperatives and agribusinesses. Question and answer sessions at each event are used to allow the community to bring up issues that they feel are important to the agriculture community and this allows the AES scientists to get input on their research as well. Because of the small size of the agriculture community in the USVI, anyone who contacts AES regarding information on agriculture is considered a stakeholder. In most cases, input from stakeholders is directed at a specific program and the program leader is charged with deciding how to consider the input and what action to take. The response may be just a simple matter of providing information to the stakeholder in the form of verbal communication or technical bulletins. In other instances it may involve a visit to the farm to provide technical assistance with a crop (plant or livestock) in conjunction with the appropriate CES personnel.         The newly formed Virgin Islands Farmers Cooperative is taking a different approach to promoting agriculture in the USVI.  They are developing plans for small scale crop production and are working with the Horticulture program on this. They are also working with the Agronomy and Animal Science Programs to develop hay production for small livestock production using some of the new, higher quality forages being evaluated. ●Use Advisory Committees ●Other (Informal contacts with producers)                           AES is available to any individual or group who approaches AES with a question or a proposed research idea. Some of these ideas come through the Advisory Council, whose members are on other community groups or co‑ops and bring them forward at the meetings.In some cases AES faculty have to mention that we are here for research and we direct people with questions or concerns about outreach activities to the appropriate Cooperative Extension Service staff.  1.
