Jethro Tull

British agricultural pioneer, activist of the British Agricultural Revolution (1674–1741)

Jethro Tull was an English agriculturist from Berkshire, England, who helped to bring about the British Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century. He developed a horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 that economically sowed the seeds in neat rows and later developed a horse-drawn hoe. Tull's methods were adopted by many landowners and helped to provide the basis for modern agriculture.
