When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Americans worried about labor shortages caused by men leaving their work to join the military. Would enough laborers remain on the home front to harvest crops to feed troops and civilians? Private groups like the Woman's Land Army and the Woman's National Farm and Garden Association trained women to tend the country's farms and gardens. They provided critical support to the federal war effort.
