Rural Economic Development—Some Lessons from the Past

Author

Abstract

This article reviews some early rural planning experience in the United States. Aspects of the county planning program of 1938–42, relevant to current rural development efforts are discussed. It is suggested that some features of the county planning program which led to its failure have been carried over into current efforts. The use of the volunteer local committee device is a principal example. Both past and present planning activities have largely ignored the farm unit as a crucial rural development decision center. The experience with the test-demonstration farm program in the Tennessee Valley is reviewed in this context.
