OverviewLate in the 1930s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture set up a national network of local organizations that joined farmers with public administrators, adult-educators, and social scientists. The aim was to localize and unify earlier New Deal programs concerning soil conservation, farm production control, tenure security, and other reforms, and by 1941 some 200,000 farm people were involved. Even so, conservative anti-New Dealers killed the successful program the next year. This book reexamines the era's agricultural policy and tells the neglected story of the New Deal agrarian leaders and their visionary ideas about land, democratization, and progressive social change.]]> Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jess GilbertPublisher: Yale University Press Imprint: Yale University Press Dimensions: Width: 15.60cm , Height: 1.50cm , Length: 23.50cm Weight: 1.100kg ISBN: 9780300223057ISBN 10: 0300223056 Pages: 368 Publication Date: 15 June 2017 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
