Follow the Grain - Spring 2006

Two students prepared first-hand accounts of their experiences during the “Follow the Grain” trip to Taiwan. Accounts by Mary Anne Anderson, a senior in Ag Education from Big Timber, and by Alex Wheatcroft, a senior from Luther, are included. Follow the Grain is offered jointly by the departments of Agricultural Economics & Economics, and Plant Sciences & Plant Pathology. Students study the science, production, marketing and international markets for grain, and the class culminates with a trip to facilities in Portland and Taiwan, and visits to millers, bakers and buyers. Economist Dave Buschena and wheat breeder Phil Bruckner led the class.
