biggest problem facing
xiety today is finding a way to
jfA,, nhance the world’s ability to
m. i r ;ed itself in the decades ahead,
egg Specialist in agricultural
l v lechanization said Tuesday.
Dr. BensonJ. Lamp, the busi-
ri n fjj) ess planning manager for Ford
irijL raflor operations, spoke on the
ast, present and future of agri-
ultural mechanization worl-
wide as the second lecturer in
tie Agricultural Engineering
Hslnguished Lecture Series.
. “It is easy to get down in the
uOMilips when talking about agi i-
ulture today,” Lamp said. “No
ne is making much money in
" ,Cf gikulture. We need to find
Pprou solutions.”
The most obvious way to en-
tance the worldwide capacity to
people is to provide proper
ncentives for the producer,
' a lw iamp said. And the l>est incen-
llon - iveivould be a decent price for
ssma iisfcroduct, he said.
rsonnt Oilier solutions offered by
maiK .amp included:
srt • irying to solve political and
jolly issues:
• not using embargoes as
traegic policies;
• leveloping and using better
ecinologies;
• developing better teaching
nethods;
• avoiding being part of the
iroblem;
• accepting innovative ideas;
• casting off obsolete
■ei
approaches that worked in the
past but are stagnated today;
• talking about the real issue
and avoiding narrow issues.
“In my opinion, the United
States should use the clear
strategic advantages that agri
culture produces to hook the
Russians,” Lamp said. “This
would be the best deterrent.”
He said everyone, not just the
College of Agriculture, should
be involved in solving the
world’s capability to feed itself.
He also said that the goal of col
lege professors should be to con
tribute to graduates who have
learned the thrill of learning.
Professors and students need
to test ideas, look for the best
solution and reach out and
“Give a man a fish and he can
live for a day. Teach a man to
fish and he can live for a life
time.”
