Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities faced by low-income farmers in the United States during the mid-20th century. The author explores the economic, social, and environmental factors that contributed to the persistent problem of low incomes in rural areas, particularly examining data from farmers who received assistance from the Farmers Home Administration's Operating Loan Division between 1947 and 1953. The book highlights the complex relationship between income and resource management, access to credit, and the availability of non-farm employment. It challenges the notion that low-income farmers lack inherent capabilities, instead arguing that their circumstances often limit their ability to improve their economic situation. Through a nuanced examination of the experiences of farmers receiving assistance, the author uncovers patterns and insights that shed light on the broader issue of economic development and the role of government intervention in addressing social and economic disparities. This book contributes to our understanding of the challenges faced by low-income farmers and the potential for government programs to promote economic mobility and improve the quality of life in rural communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

How production loans shaped farm income and risk in the 1950s
This concise study examines how families using FHA-backed loans approached buying farm resources, managing debt, and planning income. It highlights how regional conditions and income levels affected amortization, risk, and how plans could be designed to support safe, practical borrowing.
The material focuses on the economics of loan use in farming, especially for low- and moderate-income families. It discusses safe amortization timelines, the impact of income levels on loan feasibility, and how credit plans might be developed to support the purchase of land and other resources without exposing borrowers to excessive risk.
- See how income and regional factors influenced loan feasibility and repayment timelines
- Learn how capital limits shaped farming choices toward labor‑intensive enterprises
- Understand the interplay between farm resource use, prices, and technical possibilities
- Explore practical considerations for screening borrowers and guiding farm planning
Ideal for readers of policy history, agricultural economics, and social science research who want a grounded view of mid‑century credit programs and their real-world outcomes.

If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
