Abstract

In 1979 the author of this article was hired to write for Successful Farming, a national magazine founded in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1902. This led to a privileged, front-row-seat perspective on the lead-up to the 1980s Farm Crisis, the depth of the financial turmoil, and its devastating aftermath on rural America. This article highlights the trajectory of the 1980s Farm Crisis, and reveals how her coverage documented the impact on farmers, as well as the efforts of support groups, farm organizations, and the US government to stabilize farms and farmers, and to keep families on their land. The financial repercussions are noted, but the focus is the emotional toll of the crisis, including stress, depression, suicide, divorce, dysfunctional family relationships, rural social problems, and how the Farm Crisis frayed the fabric of rural communities.

20世纪80年代的农场危机:脚踏实地的回顾
1979年,这篇文章的作者受雇为1902年在爱荷华州得梅因创办的全国性杂志《成功的农业》撰稿。这导致了对20世纪80年代农场危机的起因、金融动荡的深度及其对美国农村的毁灭性后果的特权、前排座位的看法。这篇文章强调了20世纪80年代农场危机的轨迹,并揭示了她的报道如何记录对农民的影响,以及支持团体、农场组织和美国政府为稳定农场和农民以及让家庭留在自己的土地上所做的努力。金融影响是值得注意的,但重点是危机造成的情感损失,包括压力、抑郁、自杀、离婚、家庭关系失调、农村社会问题,以及农场危机如何破坏农村社区的结构。
