The American Farm Bureau Federation was organized on November 12, 1919, in Chicago, Illinois, by Farm Bureau leaders from 34 states. A declaration at the beginning of the convention said, "This country needs the sound, conservative common-sense of the farmers expressed in a collective and organized way." The newly-minted farm organization gave farmers and ranchers a voice and a seat at the table with the powerful economic interests of the day--business, manufacturing, railroads and labor. American Farm Bureau is the national advocate for farm and ranch families through good times and bad in the belief that a more prosperous agriculture contributes to the well-being of all Americans

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...will always be more or less local talent available in the county, such as song leaders, Y. M. C. A. secretries and others who can help in the organizing and conduct of such gatherings. In some of the states specialists in rural sociology and rural organization are available at the state colleges to assist with the programs. Full responsibility should be delegated to some competent person who should be in charge of each part of the program. The county agent should not try to do it all himself, but should delegate everything possible to others. He will be busy enough seeing that all of the machinery runs smoothly. A location must be chosen which is suitable and convenient. Such a location should be chosen with the following things in mind: Shade, drinking water, clean grounds, care of rubbish, room for sports, retiring conveniences, etc. Picnic lunches are usually best on such occasions because they throw groups of people together and tend more toward a social good time. But some provision must usually be made for those who cannot conveniently bring lunches. It is well to see that city and village people cooperate as well as farmers. Farmers alone do not often constitute a community. The best community spirit cannot be developed unless all its component groups participate. RURAL DRAMATICS The play or drama given in the rural community by local talent may be a useful means not only of developing the play spirit, but of teaching useful lessons in working together as well. This means of arousing community spirit should be more widely used than it is. In the same way the historical or allegorical pageant has wonderful possibilities for community development. Both help to train local talent. They may also be useful in bringing about needed...

One of the largest volunteer movements in the twentieth century, local farm and home bureau organizations have been woefully underrepresented in socio-political studies of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Nancy K. Berlage addresses this omission with an insightful look at how bureau members put university science to work in agricultural and rural life at the local level, even while industrialization, and urbanization profoundly shifted the landscape of labor in the U.S. In Farmers Helping Farmers, Berlage explores how bureaus served as the locus of science-based agriculture for rural communities. Drawing on community bonds and culturally powerful metaphors to overcome skepticism, bureaus played a critical role in circulating knowledge grounded in the new disciplines of agricultural economics, rural sociology, home economics, veterinary medicine, child science, and public health. Throughout the book, Berlage weaves a novel consideration of women's roles into the story of farm and home bureaus, noting that these organizations served as places where supporters could grapple with issues beyond farming practices such as child welfare, personal health, and gender ideals. They were also crucial in supporting the organization's underlying mission to strengthen community and family ties to the benefit of more efficient and productive farm. In addition to bureau documents, Berlage draws from cartoons, films, photographs, and personal correspondence, to add a human dimension this organizational history. The resultant analysis offers a fresh look at the local bureaus' social, economic, cultural, and political functions and book highlights the organizations' significant influence on American life in the early twentieth century.
