Welcome to our ninth issue of Choices (Q3 2006).
In this issue of Choices, we offer two collections of papers. One covers economic issues associated with the invasion of foreign pest species. The other addresses the future of the livestock industry, including possible changes, key unknowns, and policy/business strategy alternatives. This issue also contains an article on ethanol subsidies.
Look for future issues where we plan coverage on the Farm Program, Animal ID, Illegal Immigration, Water Quality, Returns to Research and Extension, Produce Marketing, and Food Quality Assurance. See our thematic coverage page for a complete list and planned schedule.
In light of the AAEA Board's decision regarding Choices' funding and the uncertainty as to whether another funding source will allow continuation, the editors will no longer accept new thematic proposals. Our schedule is full through June 2007 when our editorship ends. Proposals currently in process will be moved through to publication. This policy will continue unless funding conditions change. Grab bag submissions will continue to be processed until all issues through June 2007 are full. We encourage you to submit single articles for the "Grab Bag" section of Choices. For submission requirements, see our submissions page.
