World History of Agriculture Part 2- Agriculture in the United States

Objectives Discuss the importance of the history of agriculture Analyze the origins of agriculture and the impact on today’s society Identify the impact that various leaders had on agriculture today.

17th Century While the European and Middle East where making advancements in agriculture the new world (now the United States) was just beginning to be colonized. In 1607 the first permanent English settlement was made in Jamestown, Virginia Most agriculture was subsistence farming (or farming for survival) In 1619, slaves were imported into Virginia and soon replaced indentured slaves

1800’s During this time developing technology encouraged commercial farming Telegraph is invented and makes communication practical 1850-About 75-90 labor-hours required to produce 100 bushels (2 ½ acres) of corn with walking plow, harrow, and hand planting During the 50’s fertilizer is sold commercially, poultry exhibits are started, mason jars are invented, and miles of railroad are laid

Summary In the beginning the U.S. was started from basically nothing and most of the livestock had to be imported here. Agriculture was molded by the people and the land overtime to become what it is today The leaders of the time led to numerous technological advancements such as the combine, plow, land grants and many others These advancements in turn led to biotechnology in agriculture, industrial revolution, and ag in secondary schools
