Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting
The theme of the meeting was The Future of Agribusiness Research, Teaching, and Extension. The meeting had the objective to conduct strategic planning and support ongoing collaboration within the agribusiness academy.
Faculty (19), graduate students (11), and two professionals from agribusinesses participated in the 2017 WERA-72 annual meeting at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Boise, Idaho, June 12-13. The registration fee was waived for graduate students that presented papers and a significant effort was made by leadership to get graduate student participation. Additional support to pay travel expenses for invited program contributors was given by the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association’s sections of Teaching, Learning & Communication (TLC) and Agricultural Economics and Management (AEM). TLC and AEM members voted to each contribute $2500 to the program expenses. In addition, AEM offered to pay for the registration fee for the first 10 AEM members registering for the program.
The program started on Monday morning with a welcome from Michael Parrella, Dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at University of Idaho. Vid Mohan-Ram, Chief Intellectual Property Counsel at J.R. Simplot Company addressed the group on the topic of industry-academia relationships. He focused on what industry needs from the academia and what industry needs to do for the academy. That presentation was followed by an extended panel that brought a set of challenges the agribusiness academy will face in teaching, research and extension programs. The presenters were three seasoned faculty who have earned a reputation of forward thinking in the areas of teaching, research and extension. The panel session allowed each of the three to present their thoughts and we concluded with a time of general discussion. A member of industry was the moderator and general discussant for the session.
The afternoon was spent in working groups in each of the three areas responding to the challenges. The first day of the program was concluded with reconvening as a larger group and reporting on the small group discussions.
The second day was a compilation of presentations by attendees on research, teaching and extension efforts in the agribusiness area. Nine presenters were scheduled to present on their work. An additional seven posters were displayed and attendees had a chance to discuss the work presented on the posters with the authors. The program concluded with a discussion on how to coordinate research efforts to address concerns in the industry on a broader scale and scope.

Update
The WERA-72 treasury is currently held in an account at Purdue University. WERA-72 remains in strong financial condition. At present WERA holds a cash balance of $7528.85. This balance is down from 2016 because of the report timing last year that included revenue, but not expenses. Neither revenue nor expenses for 2017 are included in this year’s reported balance
Last year’s reported balance was $9,425.35 costs were modest relative to past years at $1896.50. There were 19 registrants for the 2016 meeting. Three of those were students.
Projections and Recommendations:
There are 32 registered this year. Eleven of those are registered as students. Three were speakers. The rest paid at the early bird rate of $250 (with five of those paid through AEM). We had two guests (Vid and the dean), which are not included in these numbers. Expenses for 2017 are expected to be roughly equal to or less than revenues. The costs for speakers' travel will be covered from grants from the TLC and AEM sections of AAEA. Five registrants were covered by a grant from AEM. Receivables from AAEA sections therefore will include the travel costs for speakers plus $1,250 for sponsored AEM registrations.
The promotion of this year’s program and venue appear to be successful. Here are past attendances for all registrants and students for each venue since 2011.

Accomplishments
Impacts
- 1. WERA-72 facilitated the development of relevant teaching, research and extension programs in agribusiness through consideration of future challenges facing the industry and agribusiness academy. With extended time devoted to framing the future of agribusiness and interaction amongst the participants, including industry professionals, allowed the group as a whole to set in motion ideas on how to respond as individual programs and as an academy in order to be relevant and affective in teaching, research and extension programs in the coming decade.
- 2. WERA-72 continues to maintain ways to disseminate information regarding ongoing research, teaching and extension efforts to interested parties. The members regularly use the organization's listserv to communicate timely announcements of job postings, grant opportunities, and calls for paper proposals with an agribusiness focus. In addition, leadership has started to migrate electronic interaction with and between members to an asynchronous process that can be accessed by all an individual preferences for communication methods can be managed by each member. Past presentations continue to be posted on the organization's webpage, providing an institutional depository of past agribusiness scholarship.
- 3. WERA-72 has planned for the coming year publications and presentations that will continue the discussion of positioning the agribusiness academy for relevancy to a broader audience and greater inclusion of industry professionals. An organized symposium will be given at AAEA annual meeting in 2018 to report the ideas purported by the group last summer. In addition, details will be shared in a three paper series that is being prepared for consideration at Choices.
