If you are comfortable with it, ebay could be a great source.
Search for some magazines like Country Gentleman, Capper's Farmer, Successful Farming and such.
You can probably get them fairly cheaply, and they will be packed with articles
that can shed a lot of light on life at the time!
If you were looking for the 1910-1920 era, I could send you a pile of southern farming
interest magazines for the cost of postage.
And if you want pure statistics, well, I have just about every Report of the Dept. of Agriculture
from around 1870 to 1950 or so. Want to know the bushel yield of oats? Livestock numbers? Hog cholera
in depth? Wine grape farming? fascinating stuff indeed!
