One of the speakers selected to

Applied Economics at the

as work on the Farm Bill
legislation begins,” Van Oliphant,
Memphis State University and
Chairman of the Agricenter Agri-
Institute Committee, said. “Early
response to the Symposium in
vitations by agribusiness leaders
confirms our belief that the 1985
Farm Bill is the hottest topic in
agricultural circles across the
nation and in Washington, D.C.,”
Dick Sneddon, Agricenter
President, said. “We are looking
for significant recommendations
from major agribusiness firms.
They realize more than ever that
an ailing farm economy has a
direct impact on the agribusiness
industry and our nation’s
economy,” he said.
