In ""A Revolution Down on the Farm: The Transformation of American Agriculture since 1929"", historian Paul K. Conkin examines political, social, and cultural changes that have radically altered farming. Conkin blends his personal experiences with extensive research as he details problems such as overcropping and price instability while also assessing new technologies, skills, and legislation that might affect future farming.
