"This book is about the spirit of family farming: Thomas Jefferson's dream of an agrarian democracy. What should we do in the face of globalization, high technology, and corporate control of our food supply? Willard Cochrane and the American Family Farm recounts how one man faced these issues and where he would wish us to go in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET. "Willard Cochrane watched the dramatic decline in American family farming from a vantage point few can claim. He was born in the autumn of Jeffersonian idealism and saw it in action on his grandparents' farm in Iowa. He became one of the country's premier agricultural economists and carried the standard of liberalism for President Kennedy in the last serious fight to save the family farm. Then, for forty long years, he held to his principles while traditional agriculture faded into what he once called "family farms in form but not in spirit."".

Graduates in these areas are in high demand because of the increasing importance of economics and management in the modern global food system, and public concerns related to the environment and resource use.Agriculture is the largest employer in the United States, providing 21 million jobs, the vast majority of which are in agribusiness. Agricultural economics is an applied social science that combines the technical features of agriculture with the principles of economics, business, management, marketing, and finance. It uses these tools to study and analyze the practices and policies affecting agriculture and to solve problems that affect crops, livestock, and the food and fiber industry. In this report, you'll find out the best ways to prepare for this career (hint: math, math, and more math), and what you can expect from an undergraduate curriculum in this discipline. We'll tell you what personal qualifications you should have, and the best and worst aspects of this career. You'll also learn more about what the work entails, and where the jobs are. And you'll get a first-hand look at the profession from four agricultural economists. This is a greatly fulfilling career in a field that is full of promise and opportunity.
