Corporation farming in Kansas
Abstract
Ever since early in the twentieth century, when Mark
Carleton introduced the hard Russian Wheat to the Kansas
plains farmer , Kansas has been increasing its wheat acreage.
The growing of wheat is now one of the most important industries
of Kansas. Experiments with other grains such as corn
and the sorghums have shown that varieties can be developed
that are adapted to climatic conditions of Kansas. There
have also been experiments in management of agricultural production.
The newest experiment in management is the farm
corporation of which there are two extensive organizations
operating in Western Kansas . In this work an attempt has been
made to give a history of these new organizations.
