This book details the collaboration between engineers, economists, and farmers in the 1930s to implement an array of practices to aid agricultural efficiency and sustainability across the United States. Within the context of the Great Depression, the author examines improvements made to erosion control, land clearing, irrigation, field layout, and fencing over an eight-year period. The author also discusses topics such as soil fertility, crop rotation, livestock production, labor practices, farm equipment, and the construction of farm buildings. The findings showcase how these practices led to increased crop yields, improved livestock health, and more efficient use of labor and resources, demonstrating the potential for agricultural progress during times of economic hardship.
