We are pleased to be one of the organizers of this networking and professional development conference. Agriculture and the organizations serving farmers, ranchers and marketers are experiencing an era of rapid change. APA is experiencing change too. Beginning with this meeting, APA officially becomes the Agri Council of the Association of American Business Media American Business Media is an association of business information providers that was founded in 1906. Currently, the association has more than 300 member companies and delivers business intelligence to industry, Madison Avenue, Wall Street and the Beltway, representing almost 5,000 (the ABM ABM: see guided missile. ABM - Asynchronous Balanced Mode Agri Council). ABM will offer ag media companies benefits that were not available when APA was a small, stand-alone association. The additional resources will help us offer even stronger support for future APS conferences. Meanwhile, the ABM Agri Council remains committed to the growth and development of the Agricultural Publications Summit as the premier summer event in our industry. It serves as an annual gathering for people and professionals interested in agriculture. It offers an opportunity for old friends to gather and for new friends to meet. Also, it provides professional development leading to better communications with farmers and ranchers.

See also: Lookout ways to do our jobs better, whether that's through help from peers, new technology or more education. The Agricultural Publications Summit has grown into the leading event for professional improvement for our industry. We welcome members to this year's event and know they'll get plenty out of the 2002 program. In an industry that faces the changes we're seeing these days, an event of the size and caliber of APS remains important. Farmers and ranchers still count on the editors of AAEA and LPC to provide the latest information to help guide them through difficult times. We can only do that if we're up-to-speed on new ways to communicate, better ways to write and systems that offer our readers better access to the content we provide. A cursory cur·so·ry adj.

Of course, we're not saying that an editor who sits in on a design seminar is going to win any arguments with an art director in the near future, but at least you'll both be speaking the same language. As president of AAEA this year, I've watched our industry contract. I've seen publishers make hard choices as the advertising market restructures. And I believe ag journalists need the tools offered at APS to survive in this business. But it's how we move forward from this event that will count. This is a vital industry that has been dealing with change since the first tractor tractor, in agriculture, vehicle used to pull such equipment as plows, cultivators, and mowers; to power stationary devices such as saws and winches; and to push snowplows and earth-moving implements. company mergers of the early 1900s. We're used to upheaval, since in the past 10 years farmers have undergone more change than perhaps any other industry, even technology. APS offers attendees important information that becomes more vital as our industry continues its change. In the manufacturing business, the key to success these days is continuous improvement. Every process and system is under review at all times. The same is true at the publications with members in AAEA and LPC.
