James F. Evans Collection, In the state of Jalisco, Mexico, results from postgraduate training for production oriented private consultants have been dramatic. The program is backed by FIRA (Fondo de Grantia y Fomento para la Agricultura Ganaderia y Fideicomisos Agricolas), a part of the agricultural branch of the Bank of Mexico. Results clearly show that yields of corn and other grains in west-central Mexico can be increased and that unit cost of production can be reduced.
