Show #613: THE GREAT DEPRESSION
Guests: Paul Bonnifield, PhD, author of The Dust Bowl: Dirt, Dust and Depression
Subject: Ask any of those who survived the Great Depression in the 1930s what they ate for dinner and you’ll likely get an ear full, if not a belly full. Their stories lead one to ask… Who fed the nation during the Great Depression?
Topics include what happened to farmers when the nation’s economy collapsed; how did people feed their families when there was no money; and the difference between the agricultures of then and now.
