Abstract

C. Phillip Baumel, professor of economics, came to Iowa State University as an Assistant Professor (1963) in the Department of Economics. Throughout his career he wrote extensively about issues related to agricultural transportation and marketing with over 300 published articles, book chapters, and reports to his name. He was named Distinguished Professor Emeritus (2003) upon his retirement. This collection contains published articles, papers, reports, presentations, surveys and proposals written or co-written by Baumel. Most of these articles are about agricultural transportation modes such as railroads, barges, highways, and related issues. Other articles are concerned with local and international marketing of agricultural products.

C. Phillip Baumel was born on July 26, 1928, in Ohio. Baumel earned a B.S. (1950) and an M.S. (1957) from Ohio State University. He earned a Ph.D. (1961) from Iowa State University.

After serving as a captain in the U.S. Air Force (1954-1956), Baumel took his first collegiate teaching job as an Assistant Professor (1961-1963) at Cornell University. Baumel was then hired as an Assistant Professor (1963-1965) in the Department of Economics at Iowa State University. He was promoted to Associate Professor (1965-1970), Professor (1970-1982), and Distinguished Professor (1982-2003). Upon retirement he received the honor of being named Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Economics (2003).

Throughout his teaching career, Baumel received many honors and awards, including the Outstanding Extension Education Award (1977) from Iowa State University Extension, the Superior Service Award (1983) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the University Extension Distinguished Service Award (1986) from Iowa State University Extension, Faculty Citation (1991) from the Iowa State University Alumni Association, and the Outstanding Research Award (1999) from the Transportation Research Forum.

Baumel was involved in many organizational committees, both locally and nationally. He was Chair (1978-1979) of the Iowa State University Economics Council, the Economics Department representative (1987-1990) to the Iowa State University Faculty Senate, Coordinator (1985) for the Committee on the Future of Iowa Agriculture, Executive Committee member (1988) for the Midwest Transportation Center, and an Advisor (1987) for the National Council on Public Works Improvement.
