Abstract: This article builds a historical perspective for agribusiness education, primarily through the legacy of the Land Grant System in the US. Wallace points out that the legislation that provided for agricultural education in the US (namely Morrill, Hatch, and Smith-Lever) has been amended and has evolved over time to include many activities other than production agriculture. Also included in the historical perspective on agribusiness education is the evolution and role of the business schools. Finally, Wallace discusses the need to understand and participate in agribusiness leadership efforts.
