About Us

Welcome Message

Welcome to the Agricultural Economics website. This is the place where you can investigate our undergraduate and graduate programs, read about our alumni, and learn about the research and extension activities of the department. It is an exciting time as we have developed a new undergraduate major (Environmental Economics and Management) and many of our alumni are making major contributions to their industries and communities. In addition, we are in the process of renovating the Lloyd Ricks Building, built in 1929, and our home for most of our existence since our founding in 1913. Thank you for visiting our site. If you are unable to find something please email me at turner@agecon.msstate.edu.
