0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Individual Farmers Impacted by Views Created from Photography from Airplanes.By Elinor MThis book was very enlightening to me on several levels. First. it tied together the organization for private ownership of land (read farms) from the earliest days of the Republic to the present day. (Yes. there was a Jeffersonian philosophy for creating individual farms moving east to west). It also outlined the impact of the organization of land on the farming community in Iowa and other prairie states. How then Depression Era programs moved individual. highly independent farmers to view their farms as a part of a larger whole and not in isolation. The farmers then planned the utilization of their land in a more coordinated and creative fashion. And. how this new construct came about due to overhead photography from a relatively new invention. airplanes. I enjoyed the book and my knowledge broadened. I recommend this book to anyone curious how early technology had an impact on farms in the west.
