Farming The Dust Bowl written by Lawrence Svobida and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1986 with History categories.
This is the story of Lawrence Svobida, a Kansas wheat farmer who fought searing drought, wind, erosion, and economic hard times in the Dust Bowl. It is a vivid account by a farmer who pitted his physical strength, mental faculties, and financial resources against the environment as nature wreaked havoc across the southern Great Plains. Svobida's description of Dust Bowl agriculture is important not only because it accurately describes farming in that region but also because it is one of the few first-hand accounts that remain of the frightening and still haunting dust-laden decade of the 1930's.

"Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public's perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars' harshly negative and dismissive treatment. Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation's four principal tenets: homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most Western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove up their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plainsdemonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public's perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed. Homesteading the Plainsprovides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from current scholarly orthodoxy. "--

Focusing on the Great Plains states of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota between 1929 and 1945, Down and Out on the Family Farm examines small familyøfarmers and the Rural Rehabilitation Program designed to help them. Historian Michael Johnston Grant reveals the tension between economic forces that favored large-scale agriculture and political pressure that championed family farms, and the results of that clash. ø The Great Depression and the drought of the 1930s lay bare the long-term economic instability of the rural Plains. The New Deal introduced the Rural Rehabilitation Program to assist lower- to middle-income farmers throughout the country. This program combined low-interest loans with managerial advice. However, these efforts were not enough to compete with the growing scale of agriculture or to counter the recurring drought of the era. Regional conservatism, environmental factors, and fiscal constraints limited the federal aid offered to thousands of families. ø Grant provides extensive primary source research from government documents, as well as letters, newspaper editorials, and case studies that focus on individual lives and fortunes. He examines who these families were and what their farms looked like, and he sheds light on the health problems and other personal concerns that interfered with the economic viability of many farms. The result is a provocative study that gives a human face to the hardships and triumphs of modern agriculture.

High Plains Homestead spans more than a century as it follows four generations of the Crawford family, their farm which was designated a 'Century Farm' in 2001, and the local community, shedding light on what it meant to become a 'Century Farm'. A Century Farm is a farm or ranch in the United States or Canada that has been officially recognized by a regional program documenting the farm has been continuously owned by a single family for 100 years or more. The sequence of events draws on the experiences of the family from their 1879 homestead to the present day to illustrate the evolution of farming on the High Plains of Kansas. An integration of personal anecdotes with meticulous research describes how the weather, the mechanization of farm equipment, the transition from horse-power to tractor-power, two world wars, the Great Depression, the ensuing Dust Bowl, government farm programs, and the changing economics of farming all influenced the nature of High Plains farming. The Crawfords and their farm did not exist in a vacuum. They were an integral part of a rural community and the small towns of Luray and Waldo where they did their shopping, sold their grain, and sent their children to school. They were involved in the churches, clubs, civic efforts, and school activities in Luray, which they considered to be their home town. That rural community and associated small towns were a part of and surrounded by the Great Plains, and as such shared experiences with most of the rest of Kansas and the surrounding states, including blizzards and droughts of historical severity.The book follows generations of the Crawford family and traces the rise and subsequent decline of the rural community in which they lived as they experienced the enormous changes that occurred as the country transitioned from a mostly rural nation to a mostly urban one.The narrative concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of the future of rural communities, the options for farmers, and High Plains farming.
