1 mayo 1934 año - The Matanuska Valley Experiment

Descripción:

During The Great Depression, the federal government offered cheap land to farmers from the Lower 48 in the Palmer area in hopes of developing agriculture in the area. The soil and endless daylight promised to be favorable. However the weather was not helpful and over next 5-10 years all but 40 of the original families left. However the Matsu Valley continues to be known as the agricultural center of Alaska.
