Last Word (reader opinion) - Sustaining the World's Forests
Sustainable management of the world's forests is an important current issue. People want and need forest products but also seek assurance that removing these products will not damage the ecosystem. An International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). task force on sustainable forest management is addressing this issue. A task force on sustainable development of mountain forests is also addressing management issues in mountain forests around the world.

In 1902, the Hart-Parr sales manager coined the term to describe the machine that carried the first commercially successful internal combustion farm tractor engine. The Hart-Parr engine has now been designated an ASAE Historic Landmark by the Iowa Section.
