Economic Forces Shaping the Rural HeartlandThe economy of America's rural Heartland, the twelve U.S. states from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and from Texas to Canada, has undergone great change during the past fifteen years. As a result, business and government leaders in the Heartland are confronted with several important questions as they look to the future. How is the region's rural economy changing? Why is it changing? What are the policy options for boosting rural growth in the future? Published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1996, Economic Forces Shaping the Rural Heartland addresses these questions at the core of future economic growth in the Heartland region.To view a chapter using a PDF reader, click on the chapter title.
