1. NCDA&CS - North Carolina Agriculture History to understand both agriculture and forestry as they are today, I believe we needto know what they have evolved from. Thomas Isern, Professor of History at http://www.ncagr.com/stats/history/history.htm

J. Paul Lilly Associate Professor Emeritus Department of Soil Science North Carolina State University In order to understand both agriculture and forestry as they are today, I believe we need to know what they have evolved from. Thomas Isern, Professor of History at Emporia State University, wrote that "If you know nothing of agricultural history, then you cannot understand American history." This is just as true of forestry history. In 1790, 93% of the population of the United States was rural, most of them farmers. By 1990, only 200 years later, barely 2% of our population are farmers. The agriculture we have today in the United States is unique. No nation has ever had so few people actively farming. This is a profound social change that has isolated most people from rural life and from an appreciation of the complexities and uncertainties of food production. For the most part people take agricultural production for granted. Our society has had no experience with true food scarcity. Our supermarkets always have full shelves and food is cheap. Today we spend only 10 percent of our income on food. In 1950 we spent 22 percent of our income on food, and in 1935 a moderate income farm family in North Carolina spent 47% of their total living on food. In the past it took much more time and effort to obtain or produce food.

HISTORY of AGRICULTURE A rt, science, and industry of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use. In a broad sense agriculture includes cultivation of the soil, growing and harvesting crops, breeding and raising of livestock, dairying, and forestry (see Animal Husbandry ; Crop Farming ; Dairy Farming ; Forestry ; Poultry Farming ; Soil Management ). Regional and national agriculture are covered in more detail in individual continent and country articles. See also separate articles on the states of Australia and the U.S. and the provinces of Canada. Modern agriculture depends heavily on engineering and technology and on the biological and physical sciences. Irrigation , drainage , conservation (qq.v.), and sanitation (see Engineering: Sanitary Engineering ) each of which is important in successful farming-are some of the fields requiring the specialized knowledge of agricultural engineers. Agricultural chemistry deals with other vital farm problems, such as uses of fertilizer (q.v.), insecticide, and fungicide (see Fungicides; Pest Control), soil makeup, analysis of agricultural products, and nutritional needs of farm animals.

Home Publications The Archivist No. 11 Casting the Die of Agricultural History by Norman M. Willis page 1 of 4 Agriculture occupies an important place in Canada's medallic history. Conversely, Canada's medallic heritage illuminates an important aspect of Canada's agricultural evolution. Other countries have plenty of agricultural medals too, but where there is a longer and stronger medallic tradition, as in Europe, agricultural medals are relatively less significant. Their special place in Canada is explained by a particular combination of historic circumstances. Prosperity brings the medal to Canada About 1850, eastern Canada emerged from the early pioneering stage of its development. At the same time, the medal was achieving a new degree of popularity in Europe, as it came increasingly under the auspices of the prosperous bourgeoisie. Canada was ready to follow this trend. Before this time, Canadians had been too preoccupied with basic practical tasks to have much thought for such cultural trappings as the medal. Now, Canada had a newly prosperous middle class, with the means and the inclination to adopt the medal and other sorts of refinements favoured by its counterpart in the Old World. The difference here was that Canada's affluent middle class remained associated with its agricultural base, whereas the rising Europeans derived their wealth more from industry. The consequence was that the medal, when it came into favour in Canada, was naturally much utilized for the promotion of agriculture.

Home Publications The Archivist Casting the Die of Agriculture History No. 11 Casting the Die of Agricultural History by Norman M. Willis page 2 of 4 Heyday of the agricultural medal The heyday of the medal, from about 1850 to the coming of the First World War in 1914, coincided with the heyday of the agricultural fair in Canada. The National Medal Collection at the National Archives of Canada contains a wide range of agricultural medals, especially from this period. The earliest Canadian agricultural medal was also the first medal struck on purely Canadian initiative, for a purely Canadian purpose. It was half a century ahead of the more general trend in the country. The National Medal Collection boasts the unique known surviving specimen of this silver medal, an award of the Society for Promoting Agriculture in Nova Scotia. This society was founded in 1789, and the medal was apparently struck in 1791 for award in 1792. It was ordered from England, but the maker's name is not recorded. Silver medal awarded for the best two-year-old horse at Vonda Fair, Saskatchewan, 1912 (MFN-005533). Typical aspects of Canada's agricultural medals Two aspects of the early Nova Scotian medal were to be typical for Canada's agricultural medals generally. These were the aspiration to dignify farming through medals, to put it on a par with the glamorous profession of arms, and the preference for the pictorial symbolization of agriculture through the portrayal of farm tools, farm animals or general farm scenes, rather than through the traditional medallic convention of allegorical figures derived from ancient mythology.

About the Census of Agriculture History How the Census of Agriculture began The British North America (BNA) Act of 1867 determined that a census would be taken every 10 years starting in 1871. However, rapid expansion in western Canada at the turn of the last century made a more frequent census necessary. Starting in 1896, a separate Census of Agriculture was taken every five years in Manitoba, and in Alberta and Saskatchewan beginning in 1906. Expansion of the Census of Agriculture By 1956, rapid economic growth and development created the need for both national demographic and agricultural information at more frequent intervals. In 1956, the five-year Census of Agriculture was extended to the entire country, and the Census of Population became a regular enumeration every five years. That year the two started a long tradition of being conducted concurrently. Relationship between the Census of Agriculture and the Census of Population Although the Census of Agriculture and the Census of Population are conducted at the same time, they do have separate questionnaires. Most of the development, testing, processing, data validation and preparation for disseminating data for the Census of Agriculture and the Census of Population is handled by different groups within Statistics Canada. However, collecting the data and sharing communications activities for both censuses streamlines procedures and reduces costs considerably. Another important benefit of conducting the two together is that information from the two questionnaires can be linked to create the Census of Agriculture-Population Linkage database. This unique database, started in 1971, provides users with a wealth of information pertaining to the social and economic characteristics of the farm population.

16. Agriculture History And Rural Studies courses. Iowa State has been a leading proponent of agriculture history,offering the first such course in the nation in 1914. Since http://www.las.iastate.edu/news/hurt1105.html

I f there was any doubt in Doug Hurt's mind about the quality of the Agricultural History and Rural Studies program at Iowa State, it was quickly dispelled during a recent job search. "We were looking for an agricultural historian at the assistant professor level," said Hurt, professor of history and director of the Agricultural History and Rural Studies graduate program. "We quickly found out that our graduate students still in the program had better qualifications and better publications than those candidates that we interviewed. "That's a good indication of the quality of the program and of our students." So instead of hiring an assistant professor, the Department of History hired a faculty member at the associate professor level to teach the agricultural history courses. Iowa State has been a leading proponent of agriculture history, offering the first such course in the nation in 1914. Since that time, agricultural and rural history have become an integral part of the historical training in the Department of History, which has been offering a Ph.D. in the field for nearly 25 years. Iowa State has the only Ph.D. agricultural history program in the country. The Agriculture History and Rural Studies program emphasizes the history of agriculture and rural life in the United States and Latin America from the colonial period to the present. Courses are also taught on Europe since the Middle Ages.

At the beginning of the Second World War, in April 1941, it stopped to work. 1947, the Faculty started again with teaching process. From 1958, the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry was separated in two faculties: Faculty of Agriculture and Faculty of Forestry. Both of them were accomodeted in the same building as individual units. At the same year three individual courses formed at the Faculty of Agriculture: agriculture - cattle-breeding - fruit-growing. A new course was introduced 1977/78 (the course of food processing and control). The faculty building was very large, with 10 183m of space. There were 20 laboratories: laboratories for chemistry, botany, microbiology, agriculture, pedology, fruit-growing, plant genetics, dairying, agrochemistry, horticulture, food technology, plant protection, entomology, animal nutrition, anatomy and physiology of animals, mechanisation in agriculture etc. During this existing of half of Century the Faculty produced 4 575 graduates, 192 masters of science and 122 doctors of science. The Faculty library had about 85 000 books and more, 75 000 various titles. Besides the teaching, education and creation of young experts in the agronomy field, the Faculty was developing research activities. Consequently, the master degree trainig courses were organized in 1964. This was result of the needs to have a high-educated people engaged in research work and high school institutions. The Faculty also had in its property experimental object at Butmir.
