In this book Deborah Fitzgerald argues that farms became modernized in the 1920's because they adopted not only new machinery but also the financial, cultural, and ideological apparatus of industrialism. Fitzgerald examines how bankers and emerging professionals in engineering and economics pushed for systematic, businesslike farming. She discusses how factory practices served as a template for the creation across the country of industrial or corporate farms. She looks at how farming was affected by this revolution and concludes by following several agricultural enthusiasts to the Soviet Union, where the lessons of industrial farming were studied. 410 0$aYale agrarian studies. 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFamily farms$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAgricultural credit$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFarms, Size of$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFarm mechanization$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAgriculture$xCapital investments$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFarm mortgages$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBusiness cycles$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFarm foreclosures$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects$xHistory 615 0$aFamily farms$xHistory 615 0$aAgricultural credit$xHistory 615 0$aFarms, Size of$xEconomic aspects$xHistory 615 0$aFarm mechanization$xEconomic aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAgriculture$xCapital investments$xHistory 615 0$aFarm mortgages$xHistory 615 0$aBusiness cycles$xHistory 615 0$aFarm foreclosures$xHistory 676 $a338.1/0973 700 $aFitzgerald$b Deborah Kay$01646174 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820626203321 996 $aEvery farm a factory$93993034 997 $aUNINA
