 A Graphic Summary of Farm Crops (Based Largely on the Census of 1940)R. G. Hainsworth, Nettie P. Bradshaw and Bureau of Agricultural Economics No 316038, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Abstract: Excerpts from the report: War demands facts and more facts about agriculture. What crops are grown where and in what volume? What is the distribution of livestock production? Where are largest farm labor supplies available? What types of farm machinery are available in various areas of the country? What are the bases for increasing production? Facts disclosed by the census are suddenly of concrete, immediate need; but for practical use in planning agricultural production they must be interpreted. Graphic summaries of the chief census figures regarding agriculture, designed to bring out certain needed points in the most salient way, are an answer to practical demands in war as well as in peace. Maps, singly or consecutively, not only present facts but also show how acreage and production are affected by economic and climatic factors, by man-made adjustments, by soil damage, and now by the dislocations of war, which were influencing our whole economic structure by the end of 1939 Keywords: Crop Production/Industries; Research Methods/Statistical Methods (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:ags:uersmp:316038 Access Statistics for this paper More papers in Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Contact information at EDIRC. |
