Introduction Interest in agricultural oils has grown dramatically in recent years for a variety of reasons, as the participants detail below: popular attention to the health benefits or perils of food oils, concerns about the environmental and social disruptions associated with various kinds of oil production, and the ways oil histories expose tensions between local biologies and global markets and suggest new ways to think about commodity chains. Agricultural oils, in short, suggest a kind of hidden history of agriculture. Although the lubricants and paints and varnishes and other industrial products discussed below are not often seen as farm products, it is clear from what follows that in their origins, refinement, distribution, and consumption and use, they are agricultural, and therefore worthy subjects for agricultural history. Which is a reminder, perhaps, that agricultural history can be found almost anywhere, and that one of the important functions of Agricultural History and the Agricultural History Society is to help convene such conversations across geographical, temporal, and methodological lines. The roundtable was conducted by email from February to November 2018, and is reproduced below with light editing, followed by a bibliography of works cited. Albert G. Way and William Thomas Okie

土地脂肪：农用油的新历史

简介 近年来，由于各种原因，人们对农用油的兴趣急剧增长，如下面的参与者详述：大众对食用油的健康益处或危害的关注，对与各种石油生产相关的环境和社会破坏的担忧，石油历史暴露了当地生物与全球市场之间的紧张关系，并提出了思考商品链的新方法。简而言之，农业油表明了一种隐藏的农业历史。尽管下文讨论的润滑剂、油漆和清漆以及其他工业产品并不经常被视为农产品，但从以下内容可以清楚地看出，它们的来源、提炼、分销以及消费和使用都是农业产品，因此值得研究农业史。这或许是一个提醒，农业历史几乎可以在任何地方找到，农业历史和农业历史学会的重要功能之一是帮助跨地域、时间和方法论线召集此类对话。圆桌会议于 2018 年 2 月至 11 月通过电子邮件进行，并在下面进行了轻微编辑，然后是引用的作品书目。Albert G.
