In the late 1920s and throughout the 1930s, Arkansas Extension agents offered training to mothers on how to puree and can their own baby food. This photo shows one month's supply of purees and fruit juices for a baby. Home demonstration agents (now Family and Consumer Science agents) were responsible for providing the training. #TBT #baby #budget #feedingbaby

In this #TBT photo, Mrs. C.B. Marsh of Pangburn, White County, is prepared to live at home like hundreds of other farm people who followed the program in 1931 under County Extension Agent leadership. The program encouraged farmers to lessen their emphasis on commodities and increase the production of food, feedstuffs, and livestock products necessary for year-round family and farm consumption. As rural people became more self-sufficient, they would take surplus products to nearby towns to sell at "local markets" rather than growing for export. Officials argued that families wasted money importing agricultural goods that might have been produced at home. #preparedness #SelfSufficient #homesteading #Arkansas #history

"It's like getting a prize for my work," says Lafayette county staff chair Amanda Greer, who found this marble while on a farm visit. Many of our ag agents find trinkets such as marbles, broken china and pottery, bottles, implement parts, and coins from bygone days while working in fields that were once homesteads of farm workers and their families. What's the best treasure you've ever found while in the field? @ottergreer #fieldvisit #agriculture #arkansas #onemanstrash
