Excerpt from Rural Social Organization in Litchfield County, Connecticut Since dairying is a major agricultural enterprise in New England, the focus of the study is upon the rural-farm people of Litchfield county who earn their living by selling fluid milk. But sharing the spotlight are their neighbors who may raise poultry, lay bricks, run turret lathes, 'or work in offices. Together they have developed a social organization unique in rural society. Its structure and operation, its adaptability and its stresses and strains are analyzed in the present report.

Building on their analysis in Sociology in Government (Penn State, 2003), Julie Zimmerman and Olaf Larson again join forces across the generations to explore the unexpected inclusion of rural and farm women in the research conducted by the USDA’s Division of Farm Population and Rural Life. Existing from 1919 to 1953, the Division was the first, and for a time the only, unit of the federal government devoted to sociological research. The authors explore how these early rural sociologists found the conceptual space to include women in their analyses of farm living, rural community social organization, and the agricultural labor force.
