Included in this series are studies conducted by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration; analyses of agricultural resources and possible resettlement areas; land classification reports; farm tenancy reports; elevation studies; information on western state land boards; surveys of agricultural cooperation and the dairy industry; range land studies; hearings on interstate cooperation; and the Utah Conservation and Research Foundation incorporation proposal and conclusions.
