This brief history of American agriculture from the prehistoric period to the end of the twentieth century is written for anyone coming to the subject for the first time. It also provides a ready reference to the economic, social, political, scientific, and technological changes that have most affected farming in America. This book provides the background essential for understanding the complexity of American agricultural history, from the transition to commercial agriculture during the colonial period to the failure of government policy following World War II. The contributions of Native Americans, African Americans, and women are integral to this history of American agriculture.
