AB State control over Greece’s agricultural institutions increased during Metaxas’ authoritarianregime (1936-1941). Analyzing such state control allows us to address, in the Greek context,two questions with regard to fascist agrarian regimes. First, considering the trajectory ofagricultural policy before the emergence of these regimes, how much of what they did wasnew, and how much was not? Second, how did the cadres of agricultural specialistsparticipate in, or at least accommodate, the new regimes? Our research shows that Metaxasreceived support from the agronomists that had been active in Greece under previous liberaladministrations. Such support did not take the form of laudatory statements or ideologydriven activism. It was rather a discreet acceptance of the new circumstances, combined withdefection from one’s previous political camp. Metaxas’ dictatorship inherited most traits thatmade it a fascist agricultural regime from previous liberal administrations.
