Description
An account of the resource
Table from an in-depth survey of agricultural records reveals transformations in the economics of farming. While overall potato production rose during the first half of the 20th century, the "disposition" of that production changed: a smaller percentage was used for seed or consumed in farm households. This is attributed to fewer, larger farms growing potatoes as a commodity.

Description
An account of the resource
A beehive, traditional symbol of industry and an orderly community, organizes four images of farming around its center. In clockwise order from the top, we see the arts of landscaping and decorative gardening; a barnyard with various farm animals including a dairy cow at rear; a farmhouse with fields being plowed and seeded with grains; and a group of fruit-pickers in an orchard. All are depicted as facets of a modern, integrated farm. But decorative images--sheaves of wheat, barrels of cider, vegetables, hand tools--also seem to be updating an older symbol of cornucopia. It was an ideal few real-life farms could realistically attain.

Potatoes on a Wyoming County Farm
Description
An account of the resource
Close-up photograph of the largest crop harvested by migrant farmworkers in Wyoming County, primarily due to the careful hand work needed to prevent damage.

Description
An account of the resource
Map shows a somewhat idealized pattern of migrant farm labor on the east coast during the mid-twentieth century. As many as an estimated 58,000 workers in 1949 followed harvests northward. They were primarily Black, and worked in "areas of intensive vegetable and fruit production with high labor requirements" (4). In New York state, those crops usually were potatoes and apples. Seasonal migration declined along with the number of farms and a tendency for workers to remain year-round in a particular location.

Soil Conservation Service Poster
Description
An account of the resource
This poster is one of many <a href="https://archive.org/search.php?query=series%3A%22Conservation+charts+%28United+States.+Soil+Conservation+Service%29%22" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"soil conservation charts"</a> created by the US Department of Agriculture during the 1930s, specifically in response to conditions of drought and farming practices that had exacerbated the problem. In this instance, the Soil Conservation Service makes the case that "Financial Insecurity Follows Erosion of the Soil"--a reverse of prevailing logic that the Dust Bowl was nature-caused affliction. Here, map of a typical farm is annotated with some of the practices that cause erosion over many seasons, and not simply in one summer.
