Between 1910 and 1959, look for the following changes:

• Loss of farmland, as farmers used new technology to produce more food on fewer acres.
• A sharp decline in the number of horses, which had been replaced by cars.
• By 1959, the government no longer bothered to count asses and mules used as draft animals, because tractors had largely replaced them.
• Most farm products were becoming more heavily concentrated in particular parts of the state best suited to raising them on a larger scale.
