About CAES: Impact: Making Sense 2005
Supporting the Business
The days of defining agriculture as farming ... planting and harvesting crops, and raising livestock ... are long gone.
The business of agriculture has turned this quaint image of idyllic farm life into a world of market research, economics, leadership development, processing and value-added techniques.
The business of agriculture reaches beyond the farm gate to related commercial fields such as pest control, nursery crops for urban landscapes, food processing and many other transformations of this amazing field.
