FSA Rehabilitation vs Collectivist Experiments Critiqued
Harold D. Cooley argues the Farm Security Administration aided 950,000 farmers with loans and expert guidance by 1943, while 197 collectivist projects in sites like Pender County and Ardendale failed, costing far more per family and yielding no homeowner outcomes. The piece contrasts the successful loan program with expensive, ineffective experiments and adds lighter items from Hal Boyle and a preacher’s script notes.
