Summary
"During the early decades of the twentieth century, agricultural practice in America was transformed from a pre-industrial activity. In this book Deborah Fitzgerald investigates how and why farmers chose to modernize at that time, a period of serious economic depression in farming. She argues that farms became modernized in the 1920s because they adopted not only new machinery but also the financial, cultural, and ideological apparatus of industrialism."--BOOK JACKET.
