Presents a brief historical account of the American Agriculture Movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which protested low prices for crops and forced many farmers into bankruptcy. Covers the tractor protests, which flooded Washington D.C., initially angering local residents, and then appeasing them after the farmers used their tractors to help dig residents out of a snowstorm and replant grass on the National Mall where the tractors were corralled. Includes an author's note with additional details, information about grain prices and yields through the years, and a timeline of events. http://www.mackinvia.com/7561882 .
