Agricultural constituencies and agricultural institutions in the United States: Implications and obstacles for a needed reform
指出美国农业机构（如赠地系统）因固守现状、依赖传统客户而难以适应变化，强调制度必须像技术一样创新才能确保发展，对研究农业政策与制度改革的学者有参考价值。
Agricultural institutions such as the Land Grant System of the United States are under increasing pressure to accommodate to changing economic and political realities. Unfortunately, many institutions are using most of their energies in tactics to preserve the status quo rather than to induce innovations into the System. The author contends, as do Ruttan and Hayami, that institutions, like technology, must change if development and progress are to be assured. Administrators of agricultural institutions in the United States are open to criticism for internalising the process of resource allocation and for relying too much on traditional clients, whose economic and political powers are on the wane.
