Producer and Veterinarian

Abstract

What I would like to do is divide my presentation into three parts: (I) where have we been in scientific agriculture? (2) where are we now? and (3) where are we going? As far as where we have been, as many of you older pract itioners know, in the last 40 years we have seen a tremendous increase in the quantity and quality of food produced in America. The two fields where America leads the world are in ( l) scientific agriculture and (2) food technology. What about the future? I think it is positive. I think there are a lot of things that we can do and it involves you and me getting involved in politics in addition to veterinary medicine.
