The National Environmental Policy Act and the Battle for Control of Environmental Policy
In 1969, a public debate between President Nixon and Congress took place during the legislative passage of the National Environmental Policy Act and centered on two very different and competing conceptions of how presidential advice should be organized in the Executive Office of the President. It focused on the proposed establishment of the Council on Environmental Quality. The outcome of the ensuing battle represented a complete victory for cong…

Kilofarms in The Agricultural Heartland
Kilofarms are farms of 1,000 acres or more. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Census of Agriculture has few tabulations of data by farm size, but geographical analysis suggests some of the characteristics of kilofarms. Their operators are part‐owner farmers. Their land and buildings are worth several millions of dollars, and their gross annual income is well over the $250,000 necessary to provide an acceptable level of living for a contemporar…
The Initial Impact of the Tobacco Buyout Program
THE INITIAL IMPACT OF THE TOBACCO BUYOUT PROGRAM (*) The Tobacco Transition Impact Program, better known as tobacco buyout program, which started in 2005, is changing the geography of tobacco production in the United States (Snell 2005). Its initiation was neatly sandwiched between two agricultural censuses. The recent publication of the 2007 Census of Agriculture, which reports on changes between 2002 and 2007, provides the data for a first look…

Specialty Cropland in California
Census data do not support the widespread popular perception that urban encroachment on cropland in California is serious enough to justify programs of farmland preservation. Between 1949 and 1997 the acreage of harvested cropland declined near Los Angeles, in the San Francisco Bay area, and near Sacramento, but the high‐value specialty agricultural production displaced from these areas has been relocated to more distant areas, where it has repla…
Half a Century of Cropland Change
You and I both know that suburban development is encroaching on productive agricultural land in the United States, because we have the evidence of very own eyes. Each of us can think of former fields that have been converted to nonagricultural use. But how representative are observations? Advocates of growth control argue that this country is losing at an alarming and unacceptable rate (AFT 1997; Sorensen, Greene, and Russ 1997; Sierra Club 1998,…

Neglected Aspects of the Study of the Presidency
The state of the academic study of the American presidency has been under constant review for the past 20 years. Attention was originally directed to deficiencies in the level of empirical knowledge about the presidency, but this was soon overtaken by greater concern with the methodological, conceptual, and theoretical underpinnings of presidency scholarship. Significant advances have now been made in the epistemology of presidency scholarship. T…

This is a major update of this bestselling work on the Irish landscape. When it appeared in 1997, it was instantly hailed as a pioneering volume in increasing appreciation of the Irish landscape as a crucial component of national heritage. sumptuous quality of its design, the cutting edge cartography, and the clarity of its prose ensured that it became an award-winning volume, widely praised inter-nationally as one of the best books ever to appea…
Pork Palaces on the Panhandle
An astonishing new hog-producing region of awesome proportions has emerged virtually overnight in southwestern Kansas and on the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas, in the very heart of the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The 1992 Census of Agriculture reported that farmers in Texas County, Oklahoma, in the middle of the panhandle, marketed only 31,274 hogs, and most of the good citizens of the county hardly knew what a hog looked like. Four years later th…

Turmoil in Tobaccoland
Tobacco was the first major commercial crop produced in the United States. The colonists at Jamestown, Virginia, were exporting tobacco to England six years before the Pilgrims stepped ashore at Plymouth Rock, and for nearly four centuries the golden leaf has been one of the nation's leading cash crops. The golden leaf is no longer quite so golden, however, because tobacco farmers in the United States have been under ever-increasing stress since …
Mobile Homes
During the 20th century the mobile home or trailer has evolved from a simple accouterment of travel into an increasingly important component of the housing stock of the United States. The urban fringes of most cities and towns have utilitarian trailer parks with inexpensive starter homes for blue-collar couples. Upscale mobile home parks in the Sunbelt and in other retirement areas cater primarily to elderly couples. Single-sited mobile homes see…

Our Changing Cities
The current cycle of urban growth dates from the 1970s and is likely to persist into the 2020s. Some of the world's most eminent urban geographers bring their expertise to bear on the American urban scene. They describe how cities have evolved, assess their current characters, and look ahead to the momentous changes yet to come

Part-Ownership and Farm Enlargement in the Midwest
The average size of farms in the eastern United States fluttered around 100 acres between 1900 and 1940, then soared to 235 acres by 1987. Part-ownership (the operation of rented and owned farmland from an owned base) has been the principal strategy for farm enlargement. The close geographical correspondence between the acreages owned by part-owner and full-owner farmers in the eight states of the Midwest suggests that part-owner farmers have enl…
The Highest Form Of The Geographer's Art∗
Geography is an integrative discipline to which society has assigned responsibility for the study of areas. It is expected to satisfy human curiosity about how much of what is where, and why it is there, in an organized manner that will facilitate comprehension and retention. Geography must be both an art and a science, because understanding the meaning of area cannot be reduced to a formal process. The discipline deals with an enormous range of …

Loss and Abandonment of Cleared Farm Land in the Eastern United States 1
The loss and abandonment of agricultural land in thirty-one states of the eastern United States has been more widespread than is commonly recognized. Changes in the acreage of cleared farm land provide a better indication of farm land loss and abandonment than changes in the total acreage of farm land, because of geographical and historical variations in the acreage of farm woodland. Eight areas in the East experienced especially heavy losses of …

Land Use Change in a Piedmont County∗
Carroll County, Georgia, is a microcosm of the southern Piedmont, where cotton has lost its former dominance. No replacement crop is available for erstwhile forty-acres-and-a-mule yeoman cottom farms that are much too small for modern agricultural technology, and only a few entrepreneurs have managed to assemble acreages large enough for successful farm operations. Much former cotton land has been abandoned to scrubby, second-growth woodland, whi…
Rural Revolution in East Carolina
T OBACCO is the nation's fifth most important cash crop, after corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton. In 1976 the crop placed a billion dollars in the pockets of in North Carolina, and half a billion in the pockets of Kentucky farmers; it accounted for approximately half of the total farm income in each state. In that same year the United States exported almost a billion dollars' worth of tobacco leaf and almost half a billion dollars' worth of manuf…
Population Change in Middle Western Villages
The population of many villages in the Middle West is increasing, even though these villages have lost most of their central place functions. Proximity to a large city is more influential than population as a factor explaining the increase of the village population. The pattern of village population growth is too complex to be satisfactorily explained by any simple set of statistical variables

IT IS becoming commonplace to assert that American farmers are growing more protectionist.'

The Middle West
Most of the Middle West was settled before the passage of the Homestead Act in 1863 by people of northern and western European ancestry who relied heavily upon water transport. Their commercial agriculture was based upon a standard rotation of corn, small grains, and hay, and most of the crops were fed to hogs or cattle. A century of rural stability produced a pecuniary value system associated with the family farm ideology. Part-owner operation h…
