Abstract: Reverse cannot befall that fine Prosperity, Whose sources are interior. Emily Dickinson At least 22 states have established agricultural value-added programs to provide new employment opportunities in rural areas and to create additional demand for agricultural products (Greene, p. 15). These value-added programs are a subset of a broader range of state-sponsored economic development programs that attempt to alter the rate of regional economic growth by identifying and assisting local entrepreneurs, by establishing institutions for the commercialization of new technologies, and by creating non-traditional sources of business finance.
