Description

Explore the complex reality of American agriculture in The Myth Of The Family Farm by CRC Press. This book examines how the ideal of the family farm has been used to justify various federal farm legislations, including land grants, irrigation water distribution, and tax laws. While the image of the small family farm persists in public perception, Dr. Vogeler reveals how federal practices and institutional biases have actually favored large-scale agribusiness. Readers will gain insight into the struggle between private and public land interests. The text investigates how land-grant college research, farm programs, and specific federal services have shaped the current agricultural landscape. By uncovering how the myth of the family farm obscures the rise of agribusiness dominance, this work provides a deep look into the forces driving the demise of traditional family farming in the United States. It is an essential read for those studying agricultural science, food policy, and the history of U.S. farming systems.
