Excerpt from Radioactive Fallout in Time of Emergency: Effects Upon Agriculture; April 1960 Thus, agriculture would share the Nation's total difficulty and still be faced with special problems. The United States Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with other agencies of Federal and State governments, is responsible for helping to develop means by which farm people could cope with these special problems for their own protection and to maintain farm production in times of emergency. In fulfilling its responsibility, the Department participates in devising active defense pro grams, in conducting research to provide the knowledge on which these programs are based, and in keeping farm people and agricultural leaders informed about them. One of the major parts of the defense plan being developed against nuclear warfare is aimed at radioactive fallout. This report describes what is known about the effect of fallout on agriculture and what can be done to defend against it.
