Federal Board Creation A Landmark For Farm Year
The Federal Farm Board under Alexander Legge marks a major step in farm relief with a national marketing structure. It financed grain, livestock, wool and mohair ventures, and backed loans for cotton, citrus, and raisin cooperatives while guiding cooperative marketing to lift farm incomes. Despite drought and uneven yields, overall farm income rose from 1927 to 1929, aided by higher livestock prices and improved land value estimates.
