| Abstract | Examines farming in the Great Plains of the United States at the beginning and the end of the twentieth century to ask whether the idea that German immigrants farmed distinctively holds up under close empirical scrutiny. Also assesses whether German farming patterns found at the beginning of the century were still evident at century's end. Results do confirm certain expectations suggesting that ethnicity did matter in understanding agricultural outcomes. |
