| The Farm Income Enhancement Program (FIE) develops concepts to enhance income and promote long-term stability in Ohio agriculture. With Tom Sporleder as the first Farm Income Enhancement Professor, much of the focus has been on evaluating value-added alternatives in marketing and the use of cooperatives as a way to involve farmers in the market chain beyond the farm gate. Graduate students and other faculty are involved in projects to benchmark existing industry, propose innovative new alternatives, or evaluate specific industry issues. |
