Review of \u3ci\u3e American Agriculture: A Brief History\u3c/i\u3e by R. Douglas Hurt

This book is a history of American agriculture by an academic agriculturalist who is interested in farm programs, policies, organizations, institutions, and bureaucracies, but cares little about real farms. Although he occasionally itemizes the products of farms, he largely ignores cropping systems, livestock feeding operations, and the ways farmers integrate them to produce these products
