Beyond Agriculture New Policies for Rural America

Rural America has always played a vital role in our country's economic strength. But today, as we continue to enjoy our longest economic expansion ever, we must acknowledge that not all of rural America has been able to take part in this unprecedented run of prosperity. It is becoming increasingly clear that many Main Streets across rural America must reset their sights. To prosper in the future, they must acquire new skills, new strengths, and new connections with an emerging digital economy."Beyond Agriculture: New Policies for Rural America" explores the challenges facing the rural economy and highlights the economic development issues that are becoming so crucial to the future of rural America.Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City is the author of 'Beyond Agriculture New Policies for Rural America' with ISBN 9780894991158 and ISBN 0894991159.
