Book excerpt: Rosie the Riveter is an icon for women's industrial contribution to World War II, but history has largely overlooked the three million women who served on America's agricultural front. The Women's Land Army sent volunteers to farms, canneries, and dairies across the country, accounting for the majority of wartime agricultural labor. On the Farm Front tells for the first time the remarkable story of these women who worked to ensure both "Freedom from Want" at home and victory abroad. Formed in 1943 as part of the Emergency Farm Labor Program, the WLA placed its workers in areas where American farmers urgently needed assistance. Many farmers in even the most desperate areas, however, initially opposed women working their land. Rural administrators in the Midwest and the South yielded to necessity and employed several hundred thousand women as farm laborers by the end of the war, but those in the Great Plains and eastern Rocky Mountains remained hesitant, suffering serious agricultural and financial losses as a consequence. Lynne Carpenter reveals for the first time how the WLA revolutionized the national view of farming. By accepting all available women as agricultural workers, farmers abandoned traditional labor and stereotypical social practices. When the WLA officially disbanded in 1945, many of its women chose to remain in their agricultural jobs rather than return to a full-time home life or prewar employment. On the Farm Front illuminates the Women's Land Army's unique contribution to prosperity and victory, showing how this landmark organization changed the role of women in American society.

Book excerpt: During World War Two Britain had to look to the land to provide the produce it had previously shipped in from abroad, meaning huge changes on both the agricultural and domestic scenes. Accompanying an 8-part BBC series and written by the three presenters who spend a year living on a reconstructed farm from the era, Wartime Farm sets these changes within a historical context and looks at the day-to-day life of that time. Exploring a fascinating chapter in Britain's recent history, we see how our predecessors lived and thrived in difficult conditions with extreme frugality and ingenuity. From growing your own vegetables and keeping chickens in the back yard, to having to 'make do and mend', many of the challenges faced by wartime Britons have resonance today. Fascinating historical detail and atmospheric story-telling make this a truly compelling read.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wartime Production Adjustments on Small Farms For the purposes of this report, a small farm is considered to be one whose leve1*of production in 1942 was insufficient to have fully employed a typical farm family at usual rates of efficiency. This is only one of many standards that might have been used in describing small farms. It was adopted because it appeared that such a classifica tion would lend itself more readily to application in different parts of the country than would a classification in terms of acreages, or some other measure. Obviously, all farms are not operated by families that could.be considered typical and, as shown later, the smaller farms tend to have a smaller family labor force than the larger farms. Full employment, as used here, represents the amount of work that is normally accomplished by'a farm worker in a year in a given area under average conditions and with the usual equipment.
