1 3 A Senate Concurrent Resolution requesting Iowa State
1 4 University to establish an Iowa Agriculture 2000
1 5 Conference in order to provide information to
1 6 independent agricultural producers regarding
1 7 production and marketing structures.
1 8 WHEREAS, agriculture is the foundation of this
1 9 nation's prosperity, providing a system unmatched in
1 10 the world for the production of abundant, divergent,
1 11 and affordable food, feed, grains, and animal
1 12 products, which supports the well-being of this
1 13 nation's citizens, and the prosperity of the United
1 14 States' economy; and
1 15 WHEREAS, the state of Iowa is a leading
1 16 agricultural state which relies upon a strong work
1 17 ethic and the knowledge and management acumen of
1 18 independent producers to operate their family farms
1 19 efficiently, productively, and profitably in the face
1 20 of dramatic changes in the industry; and
1 21 WHEREAS, Iowa's agricultural production and
1 22 marketing structures are undergoing a transformation
1 23 which increasingly requires independent producers to
1 24 reevaluate business practices and reformulate
1 25 strategies in order to compete and prosper in the next
1 26 century; NOW THEREFORE,
1 27 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, THE HOUSE OF

2 6 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the conference be
2 7 conducted over the course of several days early this
2 8 summer in Ames for purposes of providing expert
2 9 information, opinions, and options to Iowa producers,

2 11 experiences, and to work toward adopting practicable
2 12 strategies and solutions in to order to manage
2 13 changing production and marketing structures,
2 14 including working in the federal and state regulatory
2 15 environment; to adapt to changing marketing systems;
2 16 and to understand new marketing opportunities and
2 17 challenges, including producer networking, and
2 18 contracting; and
2 19 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the conference be
2 20 supported from reasonable registration fees that do
2 21 not discourage agricultural producers from attending

2 23 vendor community, and support provided by the General
2 24 Assembly; and
2 25 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this
