Synopsis
This book presents a sweeping overview of how agriculture is changing from a family-owned business into a high-stakes commercial enterprise. The author, an expert in agricultural economics, delves into the history of farming in the United States and traces its development from a subsistence activity to a major industry. The book explores the rise of corporations and the increasing use of technology in farming, as well as the impact of these changes on rural communities. The author argues that the traditional definition of a farm is no longer useful and proposes a new classification system based on the size and type of operation. This timely and thought-provoking book will be of interest to anyone concerned about the future of food production.
