The Agricultural Revolution of the 20th Century documents the development of modern agriculture in a comprehensive and understandable format. The authors provide the context and historical gaps of agricultural development often omitted in traditional texts. Don Paarlberg?s extensive experience in working with the federal government has provided him with exceptional insight into the government?s involvement with agriculture. This book will be of interest to college students of agriculture, sociology, and vocational agriculture. It will also be of interest to members of the American Agricultural Economics Association, people who have a long–standing background in agriculture and are nostalgic for the way things were, and other readers interested in agriculture during the 20th century. Excellent photographs complement the text, illustrating changes that have taken place and contrasting past practices with modern technology.
