The Anniston Star May 13, 1960 Anniston Alabama The word agri-business was coined by Fletcher Farrington 1n 1960 to describe the joining of farm production and industry. Businessmen helped purchase tractors for farmers who were then able to increase production, benifitting both parties. The internationally known "Farm-City Week" began in 1955, which introduced the promotion of cooperation between farmers and businesses.
