Trends in National Farm Organizations

No 391372, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to sketch the origin and development of the National Grange, the National Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union of America (usually called the Farmers' Union), and the American Farm Bureau Federation and, in the light of their more recent major activities and objectives, to indicate the direction in which nationally organized farmers appear to be moving. Interviews with executives of these organizations in the fall of 1939, along with an examination of their public reports and programs, supplied most of the material on which the article is based. Wherever possible direct quotation will be used so that the viewpoints of the organizations or their representatives may be presented in their own words.
