Abstract: Report Explanation: In 1920, several bureaus of the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Department of the Interior adopted a program of work which proposed to bring together and publish all of the available information pertaining to the agriculture of the Great Plains region. Carrying out one part of this plan during the summer of 1923. The Divisions of Farm Management and of Land Economics, of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, working in cooperation with the respective State Agricultural Colleges, collected data from representative farmers in five of the great plains states. Following is a summary of the information given by 151 farmers in Lincoln and Washington Counties in eastern Colorado. General information as to the farm business for the year ending March 1, 1923 is presented, as well as certain of the more important steps in the history of the agricultural development of the region. Farmers will be able to judge of their own success by comparing results obtained on their own farms with the averages for the region.
