Price has helped A&M receive contracts and grants from across the world for the International Ag Program office. The organization has “awarded 11 contracts and five grants for reconstruction work in war-tom Iraq,” according to the USAID Web site. Its mission is to improve the lives of all Iraqis and work to provide assistance to the people of Iraq to encourage growth, support democracy and restore health and education systems. Helping Iraq will not only ben efit USAID, but will indirectly help the U.S. economy and pro vide a wealth of information for A&M to use in research. Price said key problems that will be addressed are Iraq’s lack of marketing and processing facil ities for its agricultural products. Universities that will be con tributing to the project include Cornell, Washington State, Virginia Tech, Purdue, University of California at Davis and all members in the A&M system.
