    1913 Portrait of U.S. Agricultural Market Leader

    $19.95

    This photograph features Charles J. Brand, who served as the Chief of the Office of Markets at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1913. Born in 1879, Brand played a pivotal role in shaping agricultural policies during a transformative period for U.S. farming practices. His leadership in the USDA coincided with significant changes in the nation’s approach to agricultural regulation and market management, reflecting the increasing complexities of farming in the early 20th century.

    The Office of Markets, under Brands oversight, was responsible for implementing regulations that would help stabilize agricultural prices and ensure fair practices in the market. Brand’s work contributed to the efforts of the federal government to respond to the rapid industrialization and urbanization that affected farmers and the agricultural economy. This photograph serves as a historical record of not just Brands contributions, but also the broader developments in agricultural policy that aimed to support farmers and regulate produce markets in the face of rising demand and fluctuating prices.

    Through his leadership, Charles J. Brand exemplified the commitment of the USDA to maintain a balance between agricultural productivity and market stability during a crucial era in American history. The photo thus stands as a testament to the importance of regulatory oversight in fostering an effective agricultural economy.
