Today in socials I learned about agricultural technological advances. I learned that farmers made new breeds of cattle. They did this mostly to make more meat, milk or wool. The animals made more money that way but during the winter. the new animals which were bigger needed much more food which in turn made them much more expensive to take care of which put the farmers in a money crunch. I also learned about pioneers in the agricultural field. They were Jethro Tull and Lord Townshend. They both devoted their lives to the field of agriculture. In doing so made farming much more bearable. Jethro Tull made the seed drill which did all the jobs which workers needed to do in order to plant a seed. The seed drill put 3 or 4 people out
of work per each machine. He also invented fertilizer. Lord Townshend also known as Turnip Townshend was known for creating the 4 crop rotation. Thats what I learned in socials today.
