Presentation -
Farm Commodity Markets, Trade Disputes and the Farm Bill
Trade disputes, trade relief packages and the farm bill debate are all adding to the uncertainty faced by U.S. agriculture. Westhoff will share an updated outlook for farm commodity markets prepared by MU's Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI), and will try to make sense of recent issues in the news.
Patrick Westhoff is the director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia and a professor in the MU department of agricultural and applied economics. He has degrees from the University of Iowa and the University of Texas, and a Ph.D. in agricultural economics from Iowa State University. He served in the Peace Corps in Guatemala, and was an economist with the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry before joining MU in 1996.

 Our Mission: To promote the positive impact of the agricultural industry in the Greater St. Louis region through educational, networking and professional development opportunities.
The St. Louis AgriBusiness Club was founded in 1981 by a group of forward thinking executives who headed St. Louis based corporations and associations. It was their feeling that an organization was needed to provide a forum of interaction and discussion of important agricultural issues.
