Abstract

Developments discussed in this paper point toward decreased opportunities for cooperation between university agricultural economists and agribusiness officials and economists. The basis for cooperation is becoming substantially lower. In the future operators of small and medium-size agribusiness firms will need larger amounts of technical assistance to incorporate essential new management techniques. Although this would involve controversial firm specific work, we argue that university agricultural economists should help to provide the technical assistance required by these firms. This cooperative effort should produce public benefits, healthier small and medium-size agribusiness firms, and support for the agricultural college. Joint effort is needed to improve agribusiness training programs in universities.
