The 1990 "Yearbook of Agriculture" is about the people of American agriculture--their jobs, their lives, their goals, and their families. It provides an overview of who works in the U.S. food and fiber sectors, and key facts about farmers, farms, and farmworkers. It reveals what farmers are up against--the insects and weather; the hard work involved in producing agricultural products; and the satisfactions they get from their livelihood and lifestyles. The book also covers the business of agriculture; the stories of scientists delving into the mysteries of nature; agricultural education; and the role of government workers in supporting agriculture. The Yearbook offers a special salute to the 1890 Institutions (the historically black land-grant universities) which are celebrating their centennial.
