Bog beskrivelse
This book demonstrates that American agricultural development was far more dynamic than generally portrayed.

These innovations established the foundation for the subsequent Green and Genetic Revolutions. The book challenges the misconceptions that, before the advent of hybrid corn, American farmers single-mindedly invested in labor-saving mechanical technologies and that biological technologies were static.
