The decision case “Silver Lake Farms, Inc.” is intended to provide an example of how marketing channels are important to agriculture. In this case, a small catfish farmer is faced with a marketing dilemma—ponds of mature fish, but nowhere to market the fish. Instructors can use this case to teach topics such as marketing channels, vertical integration, and the effect of an infant industry.
