520    "4-H, the iconic rural youth program run by the U.S. 
       Department of Agriculture, has enrolled more than 70 
       million Americans over the last century. As the first 
       comprehensive history of the organization, The 4-H Harvest
       tracks 4-H from its origins in turn-of-the-century 
       agricultural modernization efforts, through its role in 
       the administration of federal programs during the New Deal
       and World War II, to its status as an instrument of 
       international development in Cold War battlegrounds like 
       Vietnam and Latin America. In domestic and global settings,
       4-H's advocates dreamed of transforming rural economies, 
       communities, and families. Organizers believed the clubs 
       would bypass backward patriarchs reluctant to embrace 
       modern farming techniques. In their place, 4-H would 
       cultivate efficient, capital-intensive farms and convince 
       rural people to trust federal expertise. The modern 4-H 
       farm also featured gender-appropriate divisions of labor 
       and produced healthy, robust children. To retain the 
       economic potential of the "best" youth, clubs insinuated 
       state agents at the heart of rural family life. By 
       midcentury, the vision of healthy 4-H'ers on family farms 
       advertised the attractiveness of the emerging agribusiness
       economy. Drawing on rigorous archival research, Gabriel N.
       Rosenberg provocatively argues that public acceptance of 
       the political economy of agribusiness hinged on federal 
       efforts to establish a modern rural society through 
       effective farming technology and techniques as well as 
       through carefully managed gender roles, procreation, and 
       sexuality. The 4-H Harvest shows how 4-H, like the 
       countryside it often symbolizes, is the product of the 
       modernist ambition to efficiently govern rural economies, 
       landscapes, and populations."--|cBook jacket.
