Technology on the Farm

Abstract: Excerpts from the Foreword: In this book we count the costs and values to American farmers of some new changes in machines, animals, plants, tillage, and processes. The book has two parts. One outlines the problem, surveys the most important contributions of technology, considers their importance and relation to farming and the national welfare, and suggests measures of improvement and remedy. The second part covers some of the same ground but discusses in greater detail the changes and improvement in agricultural practices.
