  • Agriculture in the Appalachian Region: 1965-2000 Dale Colyer
    Agriculture in the Appalachian Region: 1965-2000 Dale Colyer West Virginia University Abstract: Agriculture in the Appalachian region has progressed since the ARC was established in 1965 when it was characterized by small farms with low incomes that contributed to the Region’s high rate of poverty. However, the region’s agriculture remains relatively small compared to that of the United States with an average farm size of 152 compared with 487 acres. The area is more dependent on animal agriculture with three fourths of it income compared to half for the nation. Farm operators obtain a large share of their income from work off-farm. However, farms in the region have become more specialized and oriented more toward market activities.

For a young woman in 1893, that trip would have been quite an adventure. So Katharine Lee Bates and some friends hired a wagon and a driver and started up America’s most famous mountain. The trip thrilled Professor Bates. Atop Pikes Peak she wrote: “I was look- ing out over the sea-like expanse of fertile country” when the opening lines of a poem “floated into my mind”: O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! These lines from her poem became the beginning of the song “America the Beautiful.” Years later, Denver poet Thomas Hornsby Ferril wrote a poem about the community in which he lived for over ninety years.
