Family farm pillars in a 1955 Britannica outline
TOWA CITY Three pillars support the family farm system of land tenure according to a 1955 Britannica edition. Harris, a research professor at the Agricultural Law Center, Iowa State College, and USDA liaison, argues public research and extension turn lab results into farmer tools, while credit reforms since 1916 aided farm ownership. He surveys English and American tenure history, noting acts from 1785 to 1837 and railroads’ land grants, then flags future questions on starter farms, non-farmer land buyers impact, and lingering tenancy trends.
