Abstract:

When two Ag faculty get together nowadays, one topic sure to come up is the diminishing status of agriculture, real or perceived, on many Land-Grant University campuses. Complaints will be heard that agriculture gets snubbed by administrators and that most college students don't know, or even care to know, about the very sector of our society that provides them the abundance of food and fiber they depend upon for their privileged lifestyle. Even some Ag students seem hesitant to tell new friends their major for fear it will make them the brunt of endless jokes.
