agricultural marketing
and the effect it has to
agricultural business.
We discuss and use
examples of different

AG211 was changed
to improve the key
concept of the
changes that are
taking place in the
livestock industry.
These changes have
an effect on how these
markets are evolving
for the farmers,
agribusinesses, and
the consumers.
Students need to know
this evolution is much
different from the
