AGRICOLA AGE 86926762, Extract: This paper describes four agribusiness simulators which can be processed on a microcomputer for use in undergraduate and extension teaching. The simulators model the environment in which supermarket chains, farm supply centers, and cooperative and proprietary grain elevators compete for business. Instruction manuals, user's manuals, and a diskette are distributed for each simulator. Each diskette contains programs to enter and print reports, and to create graphs of team performance. The simulators can be used to teach financial management concepts and techniques, as well as economic principles.

Reports on a meeting of agriculture and journalism deans to examine agricultural journalism curricula. They hear calls for courses and curricula that encompass not only "micro" skills (e.g., writing and broadcasting techniques) but also "macro" aspects such as international communications, rural-urban issues and national food and agricultural policy concerns.
