Preserving the Family Farm - Women, Community, Foundations of Agribusiness in Midwest, 1900 1940

Informationen zum Autor Mary C. Neth is associate professor of history at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Klappentext Between 1900 and 1940 American family farming gave way to what came to be called agribusiness. Government policies, consumer goods aimed at rural markets, and the increasing consolidation of agricultural industries all combined to bring about changes in farming strategies that had been in use since the frontier era. Because the Midwestern farm economy played an important part in the relations of family and community, new approaches to farm production meant new patterns in interpersonal relations as well. In Preserving the Family Farm Mary Neth focuses on these relations -- of gender and community -- to shed new light on the events of this crucial period.
