The twentieth century began with a golden age for the family farm and concluded with the family farm all but replaced by agribusiness. Driven by war and economic downturns, technological advances, global demand, and increasing governmental involvement, agriculture in the Corn Belt underwent a sea change. The hard work, tight communities, and values built around self-sufficiency in good times and mutual support in bad - those things that characterized the family farm - would be replaced by the large corporate enterprise with its massive acreages, high-tech methods, and global outlooks. While many decry this change as loss, with the family farm becoming an icon for all that was good, earthbound, and natural in the American past, Nordin and Scott find a net gain. Their account will inform readers with a detailed account of one of the great transformations in American life."--BOOK JACKET.
