Abstract
Much can be learned about the present status of agriculture in Alaska
from a review of the long and varied history of Alaskan agriculture. At some
times, concerted public efforts have been directed to its development; at
others, agriculture has suffered long periods of public neglect. At national
levels, opinion has vacillated from limited optimism to abject negativism.
However, correlations may be found among the public policy attitudes and
agricultural development success
