The article presents the accomplishments and contributions of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as it celebrates its 150th anniversary. The daily flights of airplanes flooding a 100-mile-wide section of the Isthmus of Panama with male screwworm flies raised in a laboratory and sterilized with radiation in Panama resulted in screwworm eradication in 1996. USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) technology was used to make lactose-free milk, and freeze orange concentrate and waffles.
