Syllabus Communicating Class and Written Work Schedule of Class Periods, Field Trips, and Labs Grading ... Calendar These two dyad (linked) courses will focus on agriculture, especially agriculture in the Midwest. Literary scholars and scientists are both intrigued by the place of agriculture in our society but they go about asking and answering questions in distinctive ways. For instance, geologists might examine the climate of the 1930s and 1940s by studying instrumental records and comparing this period to longer-term climate records of the past. Studying the literature and films of the period, historians and literary scholars might explore the cultural roots of the Dust Bowl crisis and its effect on American life. By combining these two approaches, a more holistic view of these issues may emerge. Here are some questions that point toward possible links in these approaches:

Extractions: This report surveys the history and trajectory of Brazilian agriculture, and its experience under liberalization of agriculture. The data, assembled from the Brazilian government, World Bank, United Nations and scholarly sources, suggest that liberalization, rather than redressing the inequality that has persisted in rural Brazilian life, has cemented it.

Extractions: Rural Australia is searching for remedies for loss of community that are cheap and real; using information technology to bridge the distance between city and country, but also bring far-flung rural communities together is one. When most people think of rural areas in America, they picture the big skies of Wyoming and Montana; an agrarian landscape dotted with farms that thrive, farms that feed the small towns at their centre. While this bucolic image may have some historical basis, today rural America looks quite different. Less than 10 per cent of the rural population lives on farms, and the percentage of rural population employed in farming declined from over 14 per cent in 1969 to just under 7 per cent by 1996. More than 50 million people live in rural America. And 15 percent of them earn wages below the Federal poverty level. Four hundred rural counties now have fewer jobs available than they did in 1969! So, what can the US teach Australia about rural community restoration? Since it's had more practice at building more community with less government service provision and a more internally competitive economy, perhaps quite a lot. Certainly, in the information technology stakes, they're perhaps also the world's leader.

The site includes two dozen categories of interesting information and links, with entries like nutrition, forestry, wildlife, and veterinary medicine in addition to ag economics and ag education. A great resource. Numerous agriculture links related to farms, ranches, markets, associations, research, weather, plus the invitation to "skip the serious stuff and go straight to Mr. Potato Head." (We recommend it!) If you're on the farming front lines, this is your site. Many partnerships have helped this site's publishers develop a huge repository of information, with weather updates, for sale listings, tons of technology plus Crop Scouting Talk ("How's your winter wheat look?"), Cattle Offerings Worldwide (COW!), much more. This U.S. Department of Agriculture agency has put together an attractive site explaining their function and including "news and information" and good links.

Many references date from the late 18th and 19th centuries: for example some 1400 articles have been extracted from the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England which began publication in 1840. However the majority of articles in the Database were published in the leading and lesser known journals from the 1940s up to the present year. The database also contains over 4,000 theses awarded for degrees world-wide since the 1870s, including contemporary surveys which are now of historical interest. There are also over 10,000 books in the database, most of which are held by the Museum of English Rural Life's library , and articles from edited works.
Extractions: :This site is named after Jefferson's belief in agrarian ideology, also called agricultural exceptionalism. This is a belief that producing food is both a necessity for a civilization and a superior way of life. Thomas Jefferson was a leading agrarian in the U.S. and he argued that a nation of family farmers was the best guarantee of democracy. According to Jefferson, agriculture is the most basic and important industry, rural life is superior to urban life, and having self-sufficient family farmers was a guarantee of democracy using the same technology, thousands of family farms, each of roughly equal size, would have common interests in preserving private property and democracy: -quoted from the coursework of Phillip L. Martin, author of Promises to Keep Although the structure and demographic of the United States has rapidly steered away from an emphasis on producing food under this self-sustained family farm ideal Jefferson talks about, the system is still something to strive toward. The family unit is integral to shaping the minds of the children who are tomorrow's adults, a self-sufficient nuclear family is a child's first insight into society. The family is a microcosm of the real world. The coping mechanisms and support structure that develop in the family is a very important beginning, and continuance of the future generation. In a sense it is the guarantee of democracy Jefferson was talking about. The fate of future leaders is in the hands of parents.
