Abstract	This report provides a description of the status of vocational agricultural education in Michigan in preparation for statewide planning to meet the educational needs of the state's agricultural sector. The report includes three major sections. The first section summarizes each of the four reports that were completed by the project staff at Michigan State University: (l) a baseline survey of secondary agricultural instructors in Michigan; (2) status and trends of vocational-technical education in agriculture; (3) opinions of secondary school principals of schools that have dropped, added, or maintained secondary agriculture programs; and (4) employer opinions about graduates of secondary agricultural education programs. The summary statements presented are designed to emphasize and highlight the findings of the various reports that have direct implications for formulating recommendations for policy and program changes in vocational and technical education in agriculture in Michigan. The second major section reports the findings and recommendations of the External Review Committee. Information about the review committee, its activities, and its recommendations are presented. The concluding section of the report includes the consultant's summary and recommendations and reaction to the recommendations by the review committee. (KC)
