Extract

My assignment is to ask what has been happening to the position of southern agriculture in national and world markets, and why. I do not have to answer the whole “why” question because the part of the answer relating to marketing institutions and policy is being handled by the other panelists. But I am sure you will agree that even the left-over bits are more than can be treated—at least by me—in a single paper.
