How to Assess the Direct, Indirect, and Induced Economic Effects of Agriculture in your County
Lance Brower
Summary
It is quite easy to assess the direct effect of agriculture in your county, but how about the indirect and induced effects? How are other business sectors affected (i.e., housing, construction, restraints, banks, etc.)? This information includes dollars as well as jobs. This tool can also assess the effects of a drought or the price differentials in agriculture. It is also an interesting way to see how non-agriculture business sectors affect agriculture. This fun presentation will introduce a peer reviewed tool to get that information. This information can be used to educate others on the importance of agriculture in your county. The presenter will do an actual run of the software.
