**Mark Casada - More Info**     [back]  **Recent Research Projects** **PACK FACTOR Research Project** A collaborative research project with the University of Georgia, Kansas State University, and the University of Kentucky to develop new packing factors that will allow warehouse officials and stored grain managers to accurately assess and track stored-grain inventories. **INSECT INFESTATIONS IN BUCKET ELEVATORS Research Project** ARS researchers Dennis Tilley, Mark Casada, and Kansas State University researcher Josephine Boac conducted a study called "Incidence and Spread of Insects from Bucket Elevator Leg Boots" to see how insect infestations spread from the elevator boot and pit area to the grain stored in the elevator. The project was funded by USDAs Risk Management Agency.
