Indiana Agriculture Detail
Agriculture has long been a major industry in Indiana and especially in Jackson County, where the farm community has always played a major role. This tour is a tribute to the “living farms” and the people who make them one of our county’s most important assets.
As the century neared its midpoint many farmers of the Old Northwest had embraced improved equipment, livestock, and practices. Agricultural journals, state and county agricultural societies, and local papers promoted progressive agriculture. In 1835? Indiana passed a statute promoting the formation of county agricultural societies and many counties held a fair in 1835. Though not all farmers were interested in book methods or improved tillage technology and innovation fueled the farm economy of Indiana. The farmer of the early 19th century provided the foundation for Indiana’s current strength as an agricultural producer.
