George F. Warren (1874-1938), was a key economic adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and an international leader in developing the field of farm management in the early 20th century -- a man so prominent that he graced the cover of Time magazine on November 27, 1933.

Warren is widely revered as a memorable teacher of agricultural economics to generations of students, farmers, business owners, and rural leaders in New York. His research and popular speeches influenced state legislation on conservation, land use, the structure of local governments, the improvement of highways, the building of regional markets, and the improvement of rural schools. He was an important advisor to Governor Franklin Roosevelt (1929–33) on rural development policy, and when FDR became President of the United States, Warren continued to serve as one of his key economic advisors.
