Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a pre-1941 reconnaissance survey of land use and patterns in two abandoned farm areas of southern and central New York. In 1940 the author, in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural Economics at Cornell University, studied economic classification data to…determine trends. The survey revealed that low productivity and poor living conditions contributed to abandonment, such that the only people remaining were those who were established and could not move, or those new to the area who were either inexperienced farmers or had non-agricultural backgrounds. The author explains how the areas were characterized by conservative and skeptical farming practices, that the people there were self-reliant and adverse to debt, and that they often lived without modern amenities. The book shows that from 1927 to 1940, the remaining farms in these areas deteriorated, in some cases were abandoned, and were often acquired by the state for reforestation. The author concludes that such areas, many of which were ill-suited to farming, might serve better uses such as forestry and recreation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
