Wes Jackson has a nice summary of Goldschmidt's study of Arvin and
Dinuba in his book New Roots for Agriculture, pp. 75-77. He provides as
a reference the following book: Walter R. Goldschmidt (1978) *As You
Sow: Three Studies in the Social Consequences of Agribusiness*

A humble request on behalf of FORGE (Financing Ozarks
Regional Growth in the Economy; A community loan fund for small
farmers and rural enterprises):

Can anybody provide a citation for the study that looked at two towns in
California. Both towns were agriculturally- based and had similar
demographics. However, one town went towards corporate agriculture
while the other remained primarily a small-farm economy.

Years later, socio-economic indicators of the two towns were
compared with respect to these factors.

Thanks! Steve Diver
