| | Abstract: | Thomas W. Barrett was born September 6, 1917 in Orem, Utah, on
a fruit farm. While growing up on the family farm, Barrett became interested in crops,
soils, and would later find a passion for agronomy (the science of soil management and
crop production). The Thomas W. Barrett papers include personal correspondence,
photographs, and a few family papers. A majority of the collection consists of research
correspondence, photographs, negatives, transparency slides, research files, field
notes, and publications by both Barrett and other agronomists and
agriculturalists. | |
