Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Summary of Annual Meeting Faculty and graduate students from twenty universities, a USDA representative, and an industry executive participated in the 2012 WERA-72 annual meeting, held at Purdue University, June 24th-26th, 2012. The program agenda, business meeting agenda and treasurers report are attached in appendices A, B and C respectively. Prior to the start of the annual meeting, a pre-conference tour of Fair Oaks Farms (www.fofarms.com) was arranged. Fair Oaks is owned and operated by a group of dairy farming families and is one of the largest dairy operations in the U.S. In addition to the large dairy operation, Fair Oaks also gave the membership an opportunity to explore an alternative agricultural business model that has integrates agricultural production, food processing, education, tourism, and retail in its operations. This tour was attended by 10 WERA-72 members. Following the Fair Oaks Farms Tour, the WERA-72 was invited for an opening reception hosted by the Dean of the College of Agriculture at Purdue University, Jay Akridge. The annual meeting featured an industry speaker, 5 paper sessions and 2 panel discussions. Drew Ratterman, Market Sell Workforce Leader at Dow AgroSciences was this years invited industry speaker. His presentation examined the current and future deficit of human capital in the agribusiness sector and the implications for agribusiness firms and the economy. His presentation specifically highlighted the challenges that input sector companies have in recruiting new talent, the current and future needs for human capital development, and firm strategies that are being implemented to address these challenges and needs. This was a particularly fitting presentation for the WERA-72 group since the annual meeting was scheduled to precede the Agribusiness Learning Outcomes Meeting. Following Mr. Rattermans presentation, meeting participants broke out into small groups to discuss that state of agribusiness education and human capital development. The purpose of the discussion groups was also to generate ideas on how agribusiness education could respond to meet the needs of industry. Each group then reported back to the entire group and Mr. Ratterman provided his reaction to the human capital development ideas that were presented. In general, this new format for the meeting was well received and participation was vigorous as many of the membership have teaching appointments at their respective home institutions. The first paper session was scheduled next. This session included 2 papers related to Produce and Local Food Markets. The papers addressed issues of technology adoption in apple production and the market dynamics of fresh produce in local markets. Both topics areas continue to be of significant interest to the membership. The second paper session of the meeting focused on marketing and consumer behavior. Three papers were presented during this session, two of which presented applied research on consumer perceptions and behavior towards local foods and packaged produce. The third paper presented a new methodology approach for examining consumer behavior. Marketing and Consumer is another theme that the WERA-72 membership continues to have interest. International Trade and Markets was the theme of the third paper session. This session included three papers. The first two papers presented applied research studies that examined bioenergy markets in Brazil and evaluated the market opportunity for U.S. exports of sorghum. The third paper introduced an analytical model for trade dispute resolution. The final session of day 1 of the annual meeting included one presentation on another central topic area for the WEAR-72 membership, agribusiness teaching. In this presentation, the scholars presented their findings of a study of the impact of instruction on students attitudes towards professional sales careers. Given the industry presentation that opened the day, this presentation reinforced the significant employment opportunities for agribusiness graduate (particularly in sales) and was a good way to bring the meeting around full circle for the day. Day 1 of the WERA-72 annual meeting concluded with the groups business meeting. The business meeting was conducted along with a meeting of the executive officers. Details of the business meeting are presented in the attached appendix. The second day included a full slate of research paper presentations. The first session focused on themes of Agribusiness Strategy, including two papers market orientation. There has been a long tradition in WERA-72 of linking the agribusiness research with the business strategy research that has emerged primarily in the business school. The second paper session looked at two papers related to Global Agri-Food Industry Competitiveness. Many WERA-72 members have close links to the International Agribusiness Management Association and international research issues. These papers specifically included topics related to price transmission within the Ugandan coffee sector and market segmentation strategies within the Malaysian Halal broiler market. The third paper session examined Alternative Agri-Food Production Models. Agribusiness and short supply chains continuously evolve and increase the need for economists to evaluate structure and competitiveness of smaller-scale enterprises and strategies for differentiation. These papers looked at small-scale produce and pork operations both in terms of scale economies and in terms of seeking strategic position. The fourth paper session involved papers targeted to the food and beverage markets. Both papers examined price behavior models one on cool climate wines (from the S-1050 group) and one involving energy drinks. The energy drinks paper had a particularly interesting twist involving strategies for involving students in upper-level marketing studies and doing field research. The fifth research paper session involved two papers related to Agri-Food Policy and Market Analysis. The papers explored policy and market development issues within the Mexican avocado sub-sector and the U.S. apple industry. Two paper presentations were provided by graduate students. WERA-72 continues to encourage graduate students interested in academic or research careers in agribusiness to not only attend, but participate in the annual meetings.

About the Agribusiness Learning Outcomes Working Group The learning outcomes for agribusiness programs have often been the subject of academic research. Boland and Akridge (2004) have described the importance of universities in preparing agribusiness professionals for careers. Lintzenberg and Schneider have assessed the skills required by agribusinesses. Boland, Lehman, and Stroade (2001) went as far as reviewing many agribusiness education programs. A few years ago, faculty at Oregon State, Purdue, Florida, and other institutions recognized the need for developing a common set of learning outcomes that could act as recommendations and comparatives for agribusiness management program leaders and faculty. Such recommendations could combine academic and business perspectives to advise curricular decisions and outcomes of individual programs around the country. The effort involves faculty from several universities, agribusiness management alumni, and participants from industry. The approach was piloted at Colorado State in December of 2011 with faculty from four universities and several representatives of industry involved. The dialogue will continue with a wider, national set of participants at Purdue in conjunction with and immediately following the WERA meetings, with final recommendations to be presented at AAEA in August. The AAEA foundation and industry grants are partially funding this effort. WERA members are welcome to join the Learning Outcomes program, which will immediately follow the WERA meetings. The meeting will begin with presentations from participating faculty on specific assigned subject areas across three curriculum components of Economics and Policy, Business, and Skills. The report will summarize (a) the number of classroom hours devoted to this subject for various agribusiness programs, (b) the common themes or specific subject matter covered during this classroom time and (c) some proposed learning outcomes that reflect common course content in these classes. A paper prepared by Norbert Wilson will summarize overall program design to identify total number of hours in the major field, prevalence of options, internships and minors.
