More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Anyone who wants a thorough understanding of the history of the region must read this book." --R. Douglas Hurt, author of Problems of Plenty: The American Farmer in the Twentieth Century
Product Description
This meticulously researched book tells the story of Midwestern agriculture during a period of epochal change in farm technology, farm management, and farm life. The hard work, tight communities, and values that had characterized the family farm were re-placed by large corporate enterprises with massive acreages, high-tech methods, and global outlooks. While many decry this change as loss, Nordin and Scott find a net gain. This is their richly detailed account of one of the great transformations in American life. Dennis S. Nordin is author of "Rich Harvest: A History of the Grange", 1867-1900. Roy V. Scott, Emeritus Professor of History at Mississippi State University, is author of "The Agrarian Movement in Illinois, 1880-1896".
