(filed under: Agriculture ) * stock image, actual book may vary "In this fine book, Mary Neth looks at the economic and cultural world of farm people... She writes from the inside, showing us its attractions and especially its dependence on family and engagement with community... Her book, like the farmers she writes about, defends a world that does not share the dominant American values. She is to be congratulated. She has done a thorough, thoughtful, and provocative job of it."--Annette Atkins, American Historical Review 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. "Neth does not romanticize the hard work of farming in its less industrial stage; nor does she smooth over the deep division of class, race and ethnicity that existed in rural communities. Her careful and very human portrayal of the impact of these circumstances on the lives of farm women and men provides insight into the complexity of such communities, illustrating how the intersection of home, work and community is constantly changing, negotiable and gendered." -- Cornelia Butler Flora, Women's Review of Books "Preserving the Family Farm is well written, meticulously researched, and extremely useful for anyone interested in agricultural, rural, midwestern, or women's history. Neth does a good job of making abstract issues personal... Neth has done much to refocus rural history and give it a richness that it should, but often does not, have."--Pamela Riney-Kehrberg, The Journal of American History $5.99 Norberg-Hodge, Helena; Merrifield, Todd; Gorelick, Steven Bringing the Food Economy Home: Local Alternatives to Global Agribusiness Kumarian Press 2002 paperback. .

(filed under: Agriculture ) * stock image, actual book may vary Reveals how bringing food production to a local level revitalizes rural economies in both the industrialized and developing world Published in association with the International Society for Ecology and Culture For readers concerned with agriculture, community development, environmental sustainability, and ecological economics If the many social, environmental, and economic crises facing the planet are to be reversed, local food economies must be rebuilt. Given the constant demand for food, even miniscule changes in its production and marketing can offer immense benefits for farmers, consumers, the economy and the environment. Bringing the Food Economy Home reveals how a shift towards the local would protect and rebuild agricultural diversity by giving farmers a larger share of the money spent on food, and providing consumers with healthier, fresher food at more affordable prices. $15.00 Ornduff, Donald R.

(filed under: Agriculture ) * stock image, actual book may vary THE FIRST 49, is in a distinct sense, a history of Herefords in terms of people. It is beyond doubt that the 49 personalities thus far designated for Honor Gallery recognition by the American Hereford Association's Hereford Heritage Hall committee have contributed extraordinarily to the breed's advancement. Individually and collectively, their influence has been felt across America by thousands of others who have cast their lot with the Whitefaces and have, in turn, become improvers of the breed. It covers in an informal manner a wide range of relevant facts. In most cases it points our why these men chose Herefords. It relates some of the details incident to their beginnings in the industry. Highlights of the progress of their Hereford activities are cited as an indication of their contributions to the establishment of the breed across America and its subsequent development to a premier position in the beef-cattle industry. $8.99 Swaffar, Paul Look What I Stepped in 1972 hardcover. .

Roosevelt s agriculture secretary and vice-president, Henry A. Wallace, had completed his junior year at Iowa State College in 1909, his family sent him on a western tour in search of the Corn Belt farmer. Young Henry was to report to the family journal, Wallace s Farmer, how former Corn Belt farmers were prospering in the districts newly irrigated under public or private auspices, such as Arizona s Salt River, Idaho s Boise-Payette and Twin Falls, and farms on the Arkansas River near Garden City, Kansas. Wallace s articles, collected and reprinted here for the first time, are lively descriptions of up-and-coming western locales such as Amarillo, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; the orange groves of southern California; the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys; and the Greeley District of Colorado. Along the way, the young reporter and agriculturist critiqued dry farming in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and wrestled calves on a Matador Land Company ranch in the Texas panhandle. Henry Wallace made a specialty of down-home conversation with farmers and their wives and of cross-examining the real-estate agents who profited from the government s commitment to sell water rights to the new property owners. He wrote what today we call New History, concentrating on the impact of irrigation on individuals more than technology, law, or institutions. Modern-day readers will prize Wallace s clear, expert analysis of the different environments that he visited and his farmer-conservationist ethic. Social historians will be interested as he explains how the closer proximity of irrigated farms and greater abundance of neighbors would produce prosperous communities with schools, roads, and social institutions better than most that then prevailed in America s rural regions. They will be fascinated to learn how the cooperative aspects of irrigation farming tempered the independence of the immigrants from the Corn Belt.
