Abstract:
Values that students place on contemporary agricultural policies are examined for three agricultural cconomics classes. Pre- and post-class rankings of values are presented by student background and major. This study demonstrates that students from all majors and backgrounds place a high priority on food safety and environmental issues; preserving the family farm is not a high priority of any of the student groups surveyed; students have not fully embraced the importance of internationalizing agriculture: and students from diverse backgrounds and majors have similar policy agendas that do not change dramatically while the students are enrolled in an economics course.
