Extract

It would be presumptive of me to inject an Alabama bias into the rank ordering of research needs which should be addressed by the agricultural economist; I prefer to address the issue of how priorities will be set and how the use of the research will be brought about.

These topics have received much attention over the last decade, in the journals of both the Southern Agricultural Economics Association and the American Agricultural Economics Association.
