History of Agriculture on the I&M Canal By Dr. Wayne Duerkes
Location
Grundy County Historical Society, 510 W. Illinois Ave, Morris, IL 60450
Description
The evolution of nineteenth-century agriculture in northern Illinois. The first wave of settlers transplanted the time -honored extensive agricultural methodologies to the Midwest. But with a market - oriented base of farmers migrating to the northern counties from northern states, this antiquated methodology was replaced with intensive agriculture which set the stage for commercial and monocultural agricultural processes. Find out what these various farming methodologies are and how they transformed the lives of farmers throughout northern Illinois
