| LAND GRANT UNIVERSITY Mission Statement and it has not for quite some time. I am a 1988 AgBus Graduate from MSU Bozeman and am not real impressed with MSU as of late......
As far as ACRE, am also a wheat farmer in Liberty Co. Montana.......I really went back and forth in my mind as to sign up for ACRE last year or not.....finally decided not to as the Yield/Price issue as well as the 30% reduction in Loan Rates really did not "sit well" with me.....was it the right decision? Well I did get $1.48 on my Durum LDP.......but what about going forward in 2010 and beyond? If the 30% decrease in effective loan rate could somehow be mitigtated, think I might sign up.
Of course I am the "Want my Cake and eat it too" kind of a guy.
Back to MSU, we have basically LOST all of our reserach ability, it is ALL in private hands now,,,,,,priced seed varieties latley????? Dont give a crap about incentives for private industry research, it is SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY LAND GRANT UNIVERSITIES which are funded by STATE INCOME/PROPERTY TAXES among other sources..................pisses me off MSU is NOT LIVING UP TO ITS MISSION STATEMENT!!!!!!!
Ok, I feel better now...........
