Horace Bowker (May 13, 1877 in Boston[1]–1954) was a farm economist[2] and businessman, born in Massachusetts and attended Harvard University. He led the American Agricultural Chemical Company from 1918[3] - 1937 during the Great Depression and was one of the business leaders of 1920s.[4] In 1931, Bowker advocated a 19-year farm relief government-sponsored program to help alleviate over-cultivation and agriculture.[5] Despite the bleak economic conditions, Bowker's tenure saw a doubling in profitability through diversification into chemical products besides fertilizers.[6]
