Extract

I begin my presentation at today’s “Southern Agricultural Economics Association’s (SAEA) Lifetime Achievement Award Winners’ Symposium” by thanking those who made this award possible. Thank you to members of the selection committee and to my nominator, Dr. Michael Wetzstein, and recommenders, Drs. Steve Blank, Eduardo Seggara, and GailCramer. These individuals have seen me “grow up” in the agricultural economics profession and I am grateful for their guidance, wisdom,and friendship. I am also grateful to the members of the SAEA and the manyopportunities the Association has provided, including serving as an officer for six years and coeditor of the Association’s Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics with Virginia Tech (VT) colleague, Darrell Bosch, for the past three years.
