Democratic Issues In Food Production
Elizabeth Herring argues 1943 may yield less food than 1942 despite strong U.S. science and planning. She notes good weather and war-time pressures, discusses farm bloc tensions, conversion to war crops, and the A A A’s role in adjusting production to nation needs amid profiteering, politics, and parity debates.
Farm Labor and the Farm Bloc Clash in 1940s Policy
The Farm Security Administration seeks orderly movement of underemployed farm labor from poor Appalachian tracts to other farms while farmers and the Farm Bureau push for higher prices and labor control. The piece analyzes political power in agriculture, isolationist tendencies, and the Farm Bloc’s influence on labor standards, credit, and war production amid pressure from extension services and rural voters. It notes 1942 farm programs, the role of the Extension Service, and debates over farm labor, wages, and trade policy. It ends with a call for a coherent land and food policy and mentions Capt. Roy J. Miller stationed at Camp Crowder Missouri.
