    What did Jethro Tull invent?

    Question #64088. Asked by talent321. (Mar 30 06 4:08 PM)

    		Jethro Tull (1674–1741) was an English agricultural pioneer.

    Tull was born in Basildon, Berkshire, and is considered one of the fathers of scientific agriculture. He was instrumental in designing numerous agricultural implements that transformed agriculture, most notably the seed drill in 1708. Prior to Tull, seed was simply cast upon the ground, to grow or lie fallow as it landed. The seed drill opened a hole of a prescribed depth, dropped in a seed, and covered it over, three rows at a time. The result was a greater germination rate, and a much-improved crop yield.
