Seed Drill In The 1700's
How many of us like eating vegetables? Not a lot right, but growing vegetables is still as difficult today as it was in the 1700’s. The invention of the seed drill was really one of the most useful inventions in that time because it helped make the farmers work easier. The seed drill was created by Jethro Tull to make the lives of the laborers easier and not waste the seeds of what could’ve been a surplus of food. The seed drill was a mechanical machine that would plant the seeds in rows rather than the method used prior where farmers would scatter them wastefully because they had to dig all the holes themselves.
Jethro Tull, the inventor of the seed drill, was born on March 30, 1674 and died on February 21, 1741. He was born in the United
Kingdom and that’s also where he died. Tull went to Oxford college, City’s law school, and St. John's college. He was an English inventor and an agricultural pioneer. He also wrote a book called, Horse Hoeing Husbandry, which is a book about how important is is to cut and destroy the weeds surrounding the crops. Sadly, the seed drill did not take the agricultural world by storm. Did you know that there is a British rock band by the name of Jethro Tull? Kind of weird, right, but this band made the Tull name famous after 300 years!
The way the seed drill works is when the machine is pushed by a laborer, it plants the seeds in equally proportioned spaces and depths and conceals the seed with dirt so that the birds became incapable of eating the seeds.This machine was a very useful invention because even after hundreds of years and numerous modifications the seed drill is still used to this day.
In conclusion, the seed drill was a machine invented in 1701 by Jethro Tull intended to make a farmer's work easier. And remember always eat your vegetables because even if they’re gross there is hard work put into it that shouldn’t be taken for granted.
