Excerpt from Wartime Farming on the Northern Great Plains Here is one of the largest and most important agricultural regions of the world. Its grain and its cattle have been outstanding articles of commerce in world markets for half a century. Today, they are more vital than ever before. They are sinews of war. Total war requires total production. This is as true of agriculture as it is of industry. Every man, every machine, every acre of our vast agricultural plant must produce its share of supplies for fighting men, for men and women at work, and for our allies in arms. American agriculture must in the years just ahead produce more than it ever has before. The Department of Agriculture has set produc tion goals never before reached in all our his tory. But they must be reached now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
