Large Scale and Corporation Farming; A Selected List of References

Excerpts from the Foreword: This bibliography is designed to supplement and bring to date Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 30, Large Scale and Corporation Farming; A Selected List of References, compiled by Margaret T. Olcott and issued in November 1929. It covers the period from December 1929 to April 1937, except for a few references to earlier material which was not available at the time of compiling the previous bibliography. The field covered by the bibliography is much the same as that of the two earlier ones. It includes references to material relating to large scale agricultural enterprises, either farms of unusual acreage or of unusual size for the type of farming in question, and to group and chain farms. These farms are owned by individuals, banks, corporations, or partners. They include grain, livestock and poultry farms, cotton plantations, and others. The references are arranged by country. Those under the United States are subdivided into the following groups: General; Group Management; Great Plains and Middle Western States; Southern States; Individual States. References under foreign countries have not been subdivided by subject. A detailed author and subject index is appended.
