Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive study of the economic impact of horses and tractors on farming in Illinois between 1920 and 1940. The author analyzes data from farm accounting records to explore how farmers' decisions about mechanization influenced their operating costs, crop yields, and livestock efficiency. The author finds that the shift from horses to tractors was driven by economic factors such as declining feed prices and increased labor costs. This shift had a significant impact on the organization and productivity of Illinois farms, as farmers adjusted their operations to take advantage of the greater efficiency and versatility of tractors. The author's analysis of farm records provides valuable insights into the complex factors that influence farmers' decisions about mechanization, and the impact of these decisions on farm productivity and profitability.
