Pre/Post-conference Workshops

Pre-conference Tour: Energy Development, Environment, and Communities—A Tour of Energy Development in Colorado and Wyoming
This is a ticketed event. The cost to attend is $150.
Friday, July 23, 7:00 am – Saturday July 24, 9:00 pm

This educational tour will highlight the interface among energy development, environment, and communities in the Rocky Mountain West. The tour will cover several spots in the two states that highlight the successes, challenges, and conflicts of energy development. Stops will include areas where the geology presents challenges in economic extraction, wind energy development challenges, where competing uses present conflicts to development, and stops in small communities that experienced the boom and busts associated with these issues. Possible other tour stops include, the Rulison nuclear site where nuclear detonation was used to fracture gas reserve formations to enhance production, and ending with a discussion of "clean coal" technology and geologic sequestration at the University of Wyoming.

The tour cost covers transportation, lodging Friday night in Craig, CO and breakfast and lunch on both Friday and Saturday. Dinner on Friday night will not be provided. Saturday night dinner will be hosted by the University of Wyoming in Laramie. Each attendee is allowed to bring one overnight bag to stow under the bus and a carry-on item. If you have any special circumstances or needs, dietary or otherwise, please contact the AAEA Business Office at info@aaea.org after you register.

More information about this tour is available on the brochure for the tour (PDF).

This is a ticketed event. The cost to attend for professionals is $75 and for students is $50.
Saturday, July 24, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm

The chairs of the organizing committee are Christiane Schroeter (cschroet@calpoly.edu) and Sean Cash (scash@wisc.edu). Please contact them with questions or comments.

AAEA is pleased to be able to offer travel support to attend the pre-conference to graduate students through the financial support of the AAEA Trust. Information on how to apply for this support is available on the web page for this workshop.

Pre-conference Workshop: 2010 Teaching Academy—The Use of Simulations to Stimulate Student Learning and Engagement
This is a ticketed event. The cost to attend for professionals is $25 and for students is $10.
Saturday, July 24, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

The 2010 Professionals Teaching Academy will cover the latest simulations for use in agricultural economics classrooms, and provide information about teaching grant opportunities. Speakers will include faculty from the Louisiana State University, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Florida. These individuals have developed these games, and have experience using these simulations in the classroom.

The workshop will introduce participants to the "Internet Agricultural Bank Simulation Game" (originally developed at Oklahoma State University) and the updated "Agribusiness Game" (originally developed at Purdue University). Following an overview of the simulations, attendees will participate in the simulation of their choice. Participants are asked to bring their own laptops to fully engage in the simulations. For participants teaching courses other than agribusiness, finance, and/or strategy, the pedagogy associated with simulations, as well as insights on incorporating such active learning strategies into the classroom, will be discussed, which should prove useful in developing effective learning strategies for all courses.

USDA representatives will also provide information on teaching-related grant opportunities. A wide range of teaching/learning opportunities are funded annually. The simulations discussed above were each funded by a separate USDA teaching grant.

This Pre-conference Workshop is supported by the Higher Education Program of the USDA-National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Grant #2006-38411-17028.

Pre-conference Workshop: Agribusiness Markets and Trade—Results of Funded Projects
This is a ticketed event. The cost to attend is $80.
Saturday, July 24, 12:30 pm – 7:00 pm

This Pre-conference Workshop, organized by the USDA-National Institute of Food and Agriculture, will include nine oral and 15 poster presentations of projects funded by the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) and a networking reception. The topics for the presentations include market structure, conduct and performance; agricultural exports and market development; consumer behavior; etc. The AFRI is USDA's largest competitive grants program and offers several new opportunities for funded research for agricultural economists. This is a good opportunity for past grantees and interested new applicants to learn about what is funded and network.

Post-conference Tour: Extension Agricultural Education Tour
This is a ticketed event. The cost to attend is $60.
Wednesday, July 28, 7:00 am – 7:00 pm

Since 2002, the Extension Section has organized an agricultural education tour as part of the Annual Meeting. This year the tour will be offered as a post-conference event on Wednesday, July 28. This bus tour, accompanied by area Extension economists, will visit several agricultural attractions in the Denver area. Stops include the modern ConAgra Flour Mill in Commerce City, a visit to a large multi-generational family wheat farm, a stop at an innovative, small, intensively-managed organic vegetable farm near Boulder, and lunch in the Boulder City Park, with a presentation from Boulder officials on their unique Open Space Ag Initiative. We finish the tour with a visit to the MillerCoors Brewery in Golden, CO including a special tour and discussion with procurement staff. Free time will be provided to visit the tasting room and gift shop. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the food and agricultural production in the Denver area. Space is limited, so register for this tour soon!
