There is no other book that deals in depth and breadth with the important subjects considered here. - Allan Bogue, University of Wisconsin The purpose of Industrializing the Corn Belt is to explain farmers' roles in changing agricultural production, to describe the technology they adopted, and to show how they transformed the rural landscape. J. L. Anderson has fulfilled this purpose and then some, not only explaining, describing, and showing, but placing his readers alongside farmers while they grappled with difficult decisions in rapidly changing times. * EH.Net, Economic History Services * Author InformationJ.
