Farm Department and Farmer Smithfield's Chickens Story
A tale cited by the United States Department of Agriculture recounts farmer Smithfield of Smithfield who refused 19 cents a pound for chickens and pursued a higher price in town. A county agent backed him with a 92.62 advance, later earning 42.21 with a 28 cent pound market, prompting Smithfield to share profits but refuse to compensate the agent. The piece links this to broader ag policy, henequen fiber prices in Yucatan, and gains from purebred stock adoption as part of the Better Lives Better Stock movement, noting enrollments across Virginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Colorado, and Florida.
