Submarginal Land Regions Highlight Persistent Farm Losses
Land assessment identifies submarginal areas in Anpelechian Piedmont regions from New England to the south, cut over zones near the Great Lakes, and western Great Plains borders where land quality varies. Abandoned farms appear in Vermont towns since 1830 with post Civil War declines, while population pressure prompts overuse, erosion, and deforestation. Public ownership could curb settler disappointment and boost timber reserves as about 2 million people joined the back to the farm movement to occupy abandoned lands.
