Extension and Experiment Station Publications
It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
Interest in locally grown food crops coupled with the increase in craft breweries around the United States has created a hop production craze. Hop cones are the product added to beer to enhance flavor and these are derived from Humulus lupulus (common hop). Midwest production of hops dates back to the early 20th century but due to downy mildew and mites, production moved to the drier climates of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) where it still dominates today. Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are the three largest states in hop production within the United States; however, with the excitement of craft breweries,production outside of the PNW has reemerged. Michigan is now the fourth largest state in hop production within the United States.
