Biere, professor of agricultural economics, understands the relationship
between money and agriculture. More importantly, however, is the
relationship that Biere has with students at Kansas State University.

He was awarded a doctorate in agricultural economics from Berkeley in 1968. He joined the K-State faculty as an assistant professor of agricultural economics in 1968. Biere was promoted to associate professor in 1973, and received full professorship in 1981. He became the undergraduate program coordinator in the department of agricultural economics in 1987.
