USDA - FARMER'S BULLETINS

Farmer's Bulletins (FB) were printed by the Government Printing Office as a service to farmers, consumers and homemakers.  When the USDA was established in 1862, over 50 percent of the population were farmers or lived on farms.

As typical government issue, they were often printed on inexpensive paper and in the form of stapled booklets or one-page or folded leaflets.  Many were illustrated.

Please note that many of the older publications are out of print and are no longer available from the Government Printing Office.  Some of the booklets still contain valuable information, however.   Good sources for finding these older titles are used bookstores, online bookstores, Ebay and antique shops.

Your local library or county extension agent may also have copies that are available for you to look at or borrow.
