Ag economist Tom Hertel receives Spirit of Land-Grant Mission Award

How deep are Tom Hertel’s land-grant ties? His grandfather started the agricultural economics department at New York’s land-grant university, Cornell. Robert Thompson, former dean of Purdue’s College of Agriculture, was a dinner guest at Hertel’s childhood home. Those are just two steps on a long path that led to the Purdue agricultural economics professor receiving the 2023 Spirit of the Land-Grant Mission Award.
