The history of agriculture in the United States is fascinating from so many aspects, including agronomic, business, demographic, economic, ethnic, horticultural, international trade, political, scientific, and sociological aspects. This resource guide is designed to help the interested researcher uncover sources for his or her U.S. agricultural history research project. The guide presents a wide range of sources, many from the collection of the USDA’s National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland, but it is intended for use by researchers everywhere. The guide is not limited to information about production agriculture, but includes titles concerning horticulture, forestry, and rural life, as well as all types of farming.

The guide is organized by type of resource: guides to the literature, organizations, chronologies, printed and online library catalogs, bibliographies, reference books, indexes and abstracts, periodicals, books, and electronic resources. Most of the titles listed under “Books” date from 1999, and were found mainly by searching the National Agricultural Library’s AGRICOLA catalog and the journal Agricultural History. National Agricultural Library call numbers are included when available. Additional resources were searched to compile the items in other categories, and some older items were included.

This guide supplements Guide to Historical Research at the National Agricultural Library: the General Collection and Guide to Historical Research at the National Agricultural Library: the General Collection. Supplement, 1994-Nov. 1999. A determined searcher might want to consult all three guides.

Bibliographic information about specific journal articles is not included; rather, the titles of journals and periodical indexes are provided. In addition, a link is included for free searching of the AGRICOLA article database in the "How to Update or Expand this Bibliography" section of this guide.

The compiler gratefully acknowledges the comments and suggestions of reviewers Douglas Bowers, retired historian, USDA, and Sara Lee, Special Collections, National Agricultural Library.

The 20th century transformation of U.S. agriculture and farm policy.
Dimitri, Carolyn, Anne Effland, and Neilson Conklin.
Economic Information Bulletin No. 3 (EIB3), USDA Economic Research Service: 17 pp, June 2005.
URL: http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/eib3/
Note: "The structure of farms, farm households, and the rural communities in which they exist has evolved markedly over the last century. Historical data on a range of farm structure variables—including the value of agricultural production, commodity specialization, farming-dependent counties, and off-farm work—offer a perspective on the long-term forces that have helped shape the structure of agriculture and rural life over the past century. These forces include productivity growth, the increasing importance of national and global markets, and the rising influence of consumers on agricultural production. Within this long-term context of structural change, a review of some key developments in farm policy considers the extent to which farm policy design has or has not kept pace with the continuing transformation of American agriculture."
