Abstract

Infrastructure gets ignored. We simply expect it to be there. For agriculture, we associate infrastructure with transportation, moving goods to the market. Our founding fathers viewed infrastructure as a private good. This chapter traces the evolution of government support for roads, canals, railroads, and modern highways to improve transportation. It also explores the development of rural electrification, telephone/interment service, and rural water systems. These government investments have increased agricultural productivity, opened new markets, facilitated new enterprises, and improved the quality of life in rural America.
