Makers of Modern Agriculture

"Makers of Modern Agriculture" by William Macdonald is a series of stories about important people who changed how we farm. It tells about the lives and work of people who developed new tools and ways of farming. The book looks at people like Jethro Tull, who came up with new ideas for watering drylands; Thomas William Coke, who started farms to test new methods; Arthur Young, who wrote about farming; John Sinclair, who started a farming organization; and Cyrus H. McCormick, who invented the mechanical reaper. The book shows how these inventors struggled, made discoveries, and made farming better, which still matters today. The author uses stories and information to show how important these people were in making farming what it is now.
