Carroll Countys road signs are a testament to the farm families who settled here. Bollinger; Hoff; Roop; Baugher; Royer; Bushey; and many more are road names that honor those who have produced food for themselves and the nation in times of peace; war; and the Great Depression. In 1917; when the first county agricultural agent arrived; 96.6 percent of the land was held in 3;384 farms. By 1926; Carroll County; Maryland; led the state in corn; swine; and poultry production. It was second in dairy and beef; and it was the world leader in wormseed oil production. A prominent feature of Carroll Countys landscape has always been the red barns; and they still are today. The photographs in this book were collected from farm families and historical organizations; portraying a unique insiders view of the history of farm life in Carroll County.
