This book by Dr. Max Augstin examines the development of agriculture in the United States and its impact on the pricing of agricultural products. Based on travels and studies conducted in 1911, the author explores the socio-economic factors influencing agricultural practices, including settlement patterns, land ownership, and the transition from extensive to intensive farming. The book delves into the legal, technical, and infrastructural aspects of American agriculture, highlighting issues such as immigration, race, and rural finance. Intended for scholars and policymakers, it provides a detailed analysis of crop production and livestock farming, discussing the influence of these factors on both domestic and international markets. The work aims to inform and guide future agricultural development and policy decisions. |
