The rise and fall of new commodities, production technologies, and
shifting government policies have had dramatic effects on the lives
of generations of farm families in the rural South. This book
examines both the impact of such changes on individuals and
families and the interrelationship between agricultural change and
community change. The contributors look at how and why the mix of
farms--small, medium, large, and part-time--has been transformed
and consider the differing needs of these types of farm operations,
the special problems of minority farmers, the farming strategies
that are most resilient to external shocks, and the interdependence
of rural communities and the region's farmers. They also review the
main external sources of change, including government fiscal and
monetary policies that shape interest rates and govern export
possibilities. The book contributes to our understanding of the
kinds of communities and quality of life that will be experienced
by the next generation of southern farmers.
