The Seed Drill

Jethro Tull invented the seed drill in 1701.  He was one of the first scientific farmers and he was inspired by how wasteful it was to sow seeds by hand because many of them did not take root.  Because of this, he invented the seed drill which allowed farmers to sow seeds in well spaces rows and at certain depths in the ground.  This invention helped make crop rotation easier being that it would keep the land well organized to switch the crops and keep the land fertilized.  Seed drills are still used today, farmers pull the seed drills with tractors and boosts their crop production.
