Kernan will address the role of the agriculture and biotechnology industries in the economic development of the state. Admission to the forecast is free and open to the public. The ag forecast will conclude in time for participants to attend the Purdue Ag Fish Fry in the Marsh Blue Ribbon Pavilion on the fairgrounds.

Bush and as counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney. Round-trip bus transportation for the forecast and fish fry is available from West Lafayette.
