Cattle Beet Capital: Making Industrial Agriculture in Northern Colorado.
- Authors
GODFREY, MATTHEW C.
- Abstract
"Cattle Beet Capital: Making Industrial Agriculture in Northern Colorado" by Michael Weeks is a book that explores the development of industrial agriculture in the Colorado Piedmont during the 20th century. The author examines how farmers in the region transitioned from cooperative agriculture in the 1870s to large-scale commercial cattle feeding in the latter half of the century. Weeks also discusses the impact of technological advancements on the environment and the failures of the agricultural industry to prioritize research on the effects of these technologies. The book provides a unique perspective on the transformation of agriculture in the Piedmont and contributes to the fields of agricultural and environmental history.
