Realignment; Outlook; Mouseprint

Pollsters say that Trump's disparagement of the Latino community has not broad-brushed other Republican candidates, but the rise of the anti-corporate welfare right wing could increasingly pose policy challenges for agriculture in Washington. Political Realignment The population subset most closely characterized as American agriculture has traditionally been mostly associated with conservative political philosophy, though with a seemingly contradictory embrace of government support when it comes to its own livelihood.

Illuminating the value of technical research

On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
