ECI Biz Blog

I read Down on the farm from the ECI Biz Blog, and thought- Geez, about time. For some time (see the posts under the Economic development or diversified economy categories to the right), I criticized our state agricultural policy for not including agi-tourism. That must be the only buzz word Mitch Daniels did not notice when he was hunting for ideas. Here is a teaser for the ECI Biz Blog:

"The Journal & Courier in Lafayette recently reported on Purdue's New Ventures Program and efforts to start an agri-tourism industry in Indiana. The idea represents an 'untapped market,' said Jerry Nelson of Purdue, and could supplement farmers' income."
