Changes in agricultural land use in Darke and Mercer counties, Ohio, from 1920-1964

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine how agriculture on both the national and local level has responded to a variety-of cultural and technological factors, including governmental policies and international trade, during the years from 1920 to 1964. Darke and Mercer counties were chosen for the examination of local data because of their predominantly agricultural orientation.
