- Title
Agricultural Economics: Finding Our Future.
- Authors
Padberg, Daniel I.
- Abstract
The future of agricultural economics will emerge as some blend of opportunism and institutional momentum. The abundance of concern and analysis relating to the land grant system suggests emerging changes in the direction and force of institutional momentum (Bromley, Clevenger, Debertin and Infanger, Hildreth, G. L. Johnson, Schuh, etc.). If the guidance our profession receives from institutional momentum declines abruptly, as I believe it will, the opportunistic choices available and the decisions we make become very important. This paper will discuss (a) expected changes in the land grant system, (b) opportunistic choices in undergraduate teaching, and (c) opportunistic choices in research.
