Description
Previous research on teaching methods in economics demonstrates the need for active learning. The use of case studies is one way to fill that need. Two case studies are developed; they can be used to give students experience in applying farm management concepts to real farm management decisions. Students are given the opportunity to analyze an expansion decision at a typical North Dakota cash crop farm. Students also evaluate a producer's marketing strategies, develop marketing plans, and make recommendations for the future. Teaching notes are included to provide guidance for the instructor. The case studies are expected to provide an effective addition to traditional teaching methods.
