Its been a great week in San Francisco at the annual meetings of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). In addition to serving as president elect of the association, it was a great honor to be named fellow last night at the award's ceremony. The fellow recipients didn't get a chance to share any remarks last night and I had a number of people ask me what I would have said. So, I thought I'd share what I had written on the note card in my pocket.
