THE WAEA AS HEIR-APPARENT OF A REGIONAL MANDATE

Abstract

Sixty years ago agricultural economists established a regional professional organization now called the WAEA. As it evolved, interest-based member constituencies emerged. Perspective for discussion of WAEA actions, activities, and roles as the heir-apparent professional organization for western region agricultural economists is provided through identification of conditions and problems endemic to the region, and commentary on the decline of alternative regional differences.Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,
