About Us
Southern Ag Today provides peer-reviewed articles focused on issues impacting Southern farmers and producers. Daily articles synthesize the latest research, examine trade issues, interpret policy implications, and help explain fluctuations in market changes.
Southern Ag Today is a collaborative effort among 13 universities led by the Southern Extension Economics Committee (land-grant extension agricultural economists), the Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M, and the Southern Risk Management Education Center at the University of Arkansas.
