Agriculture/Agribusiness


Farm records, papers of individual farmers, including records of family and corporate farms, co-ops, sales and service companies of farm implements, marketing groups and organizations of farm products, and personal and professional papers of foresters, horticulturalists and others involved in the study and research of agriculture. See also the Archives of Soil Science. Researchers may also want to consider the agricultural related holdings of the Western Historical Manuscript Collections in Kansas City, Rolla, and St. Louis.
