Kauai Plantation Railway The Passenger Cars The Locomotives Track Layout ... Contact Us Kilohana Plantation lives up to its name with the recently added 70 acre tropical agriculture operation immediately adjacent to the historic home and grounds. With the Kauai Plantation Railway as the magic carpet, visitors will be able to tour a working plantation to view the present, past, and future of tropical agriculture in Hawaii. Traditional Hawaiian crops of sugar cane and wetland taro present the early agriculture of the Native Hawaiians, and contemporary market crops - pineapple, papaya, banana, coffee and guava give visitors a chance to see how these well known fruits are grown. Small scale vegetable gardens provide a wide variety of table crops to be used in area restaurants to make this truly a working farm that provides subsistence to the local residents who work this land. The development of the crops is in the hands of a number of individual and agri-business tenants who cultivate their areas. Students from the adjoining Kauai Community College Tropical Agriculture are also involved in a hands-on learning of the skills of the profession, becoming aware of marketing practices, and developing the new crops under study.

History. A Timeline of Agricultural Development Stephen Moulton Babcock developed a test to show the amount of butterfat in milk. That test helped fix standards for municipal milk inspection and set fair market prices according to quality grading. He also carried out research in the fields of nutrition and the chemistry of vitamins. George Washington Carver advocated alternating cotton crops with other crops to restore nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil. To enhance the attractiveness of alternative crops, he developed a variety of uses for each. He devised more than 300 uses for the peanut alone. Jethro Tull realized that the sewing of grain seed by hand was very wasteful and decided to develop a more efficient method. In 1701, he invented the horse-drawn seed drill, and his design remained the standard for over a century. THE ROBINSON LIBRARY Agriculture.

26. History Of Agriculture In Utah A History of Agriculture, Utah, from the Utah History Encyclopedia. Written by Charles S. Peterson. http://www.onlineutah.com/agriculturehistory.shtml

History of Agriculture inUtah Taken from the Utah History Encyclopedia Links Added AGRICULTURE IN UTAH By many standards Utah is not an agricultural state. Nature has been stingy in that regard. Good crop land is scarce. Water is not plentiful, nor can it even be found in many places. For much of its history the state has been predominantly urban in its population as well as industrial and commercial in its economy. Yet agriculture continues to have a cultural impact out of proportion to any economic, acreage , or population standard. The mindset of Utah's residents remains in large measure rural with an emphasis on family life. Local influences play an important part in government and social life. Like their forebears, modern-day Utahns still see security in agriculture and their lives take form and context from a patchwork of land-related influences. The very fact of Utah's limited natural resources attracted Utah's first Anglo-American settlers, the

This page is created for use with frames HISTORY OF MODULE TRUCK SYSTEMS Corporate Offices - Lubbock, Texas Module Truck Systems began operations in April of 1988 in Lubbock, Texas. MTS began solely as a module truck service and repair business. The original employees of MTS were some of the most knowledgeable and experienced people in the module truck business at that time. Virtually every one of the original employees are still with MTS today. Numerous requests were made, by members of the ginning industry, for MTS to use its experience in maintenance and repair of module trucks to develop a better module truck. As a result, MTS began building an improved version of module trucks that same year. Over the next four years, MTS surpassed all other module truck companies and became the leader in the service and manufacture of cotton module trucks throughout the cotton belt. In 1992 MTS established a service center in Moultrie, Ga. to service the southeastern cotton area. MTS also operates a fleet of field service trucks that covers all the cotton growing areas in the United States. Cotton module trucks manufactured by MTS are now operating in every cotton producing state in the U.S. During the harvest season, our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by an employee of MTS that is well versed in service and repair of cotton module trucks.

History of Chinese Invention - Agriculture History of Agriculture in China For at least 10,000 years, as early man changed from hunter-gatherer to the more settled living of agricultural economies, the practice of agriculture has undergone significant developments which predicated the evolution of civilization. Evidence points to the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East (about 9,500 BC in the early Holocene period) as an early site with planned sowing and harvesting of plants that had previously been gathered in the wild. The Xianrendong and Diaotonghuan region in the Yangtze Basin of China's Hunan province show the 9-14,000 year-old upper excavation layer has Early Neolithic tools and rice pollen indicative of early cultivated rice paddies. Discerning the precise origin of agriculture remains problematic because the transition from hunter-gatherer societies began thousands of years before the invention of writing. Independent early development of agriculture occurred in China and southern Asia, Africa's Sahel region, New Guinea and several regions of the Americas. Some of the early primitive technology consisted of spreading seeds and extracating weeds, while harvesting when mature, using primitive wooden and stod tools. Significant efficiency was realized with row planting and hoeing, which is documented in Some of the earliest evidence for hoe cultivation and irrigation and drainage is found in the Daxi region of the middle Yangtze about 3000 BCE. A treatise from the third century BC by the prime minister of the Qin state observes "IF the crops are grown in rows..." About the fifth century BCE, iron hoes were common in China, and intensive hoeing was yet another efficiency measure. Through the next several centuries, advances in the design and composition of iron hoes accelerated agricultural efficiency, and an adaptation led to the

Story of Farming "Over 80 percent of mankind's diet is provided by the seeds of less than a dozen plant species." (26F, pg 2) Over the years man has invented new machines and techniques to increase the amount and variety of crop production. The following will be an overview of the history of farming. We will examine the major historical cultures, the development of the tractor, and the major types of agriculture practiced today. The roots of farming began in the areas of present day Turkey and the Middle East about 10,000 years ago. Two of the earliest settlements are known as Catal Hüyük and Jericho. Catal Hüyük had, by 6000 B.C., more then 1000 houses. It is at this place that we have discovered evidence of people taking wild grasses and using the seeds for food and planting for the next years food. These seeds are now known as cereals and make up a large percentage of the worlds food supply. (18F) Jericho, like many early cities, was located around a consistent water source, a spring which produced over 1000 gallons of water every minute. (#16, pg. 6) Jericho consisted of about eight to ten acres on which it is estimated that two to three thousand people lived. These people were supported by farming of wheat, barley, peas, and lentils. Archeologist believe the earliest settlers in this area were a small group of hunter-gathers. Hunter - gathers would live off the land forging berry and edible plants, as well as hunting wild animals. These types of people lived in smaller groups because they had to be mobile to find more food. It was not until man began to plant and harvest crops that large permanent settlements could be established, like at Jericho.

Home About Membership Exhibits ... Tractor Club Supporting AMA is only a click away! City Bank Community Rewards Or Follow us on History of the American Museum of Agriculture In 1969, as agricultural museum was deemed important to the people of West Texas. Too many people thought of the old machinery left in the back yard as junk. To Alton Brazell, a Lubbock County Commissioner for 36 years, this junk was a hidden treasure. Alton took it upon himself to begin a collection of agricultural equipment and machinery that told the story of American agriculture. This collection became the property of the Lubbock County Commissioner’s Court, known as the Lubbock County Historical Collection. Part of the collection was housed on five acres in Shallowater, known as the Shallowater Park. Another part of the collection was stored in a warehouse in downtown Lubbock. In August 2001, a group of agriculture industry leaders from the South Plains gathered at the first meeting of the non-profit organization the American Museum of Agriculture in Lubbock. In 2002, the Lubbock County Historical Collection permanently loaned the exhibits to the American Museum of Agriculture. The museum, which is located at 1501 Canyon Lake Drive, opened its doors to the public in May 2002. The museum strives to preserve the history and tell the story of American agriculture. Today, the collection ranges from household items to Moldboard plows and tractors. The American Museum of Agriculture currently houses restored tractors, a threshing machine, broadcast binder, combine, 71 pedal tractors, 300 die-cast toy tractors, and approximately 300 other artifacts and pieces of smaller equipment. In storage, the museum has horse-drawn equipment, field condition tractors, threshing machines, combines, grain binders, mowing machines, grain drills, hay rakes, hay balers, cotton strippers and cotton trailers.

Agriculture was the key development that led to the rise of human civilization , with the husbandry of domesticated animals and plants (i.e. crops ) creating food surpluses that enabled the development of more densely populated and stratified societies. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science . Agriculture is also observed in certain species of ant and termite. Agriculture encompasses a wide variety of specialties and techniques, including ways to expand the lands suitable for plant raising, by digging water-channels and other forms of irrigation. Cultivation of crops on arable land and the pastoral herding of livestock on rangeland remain at the foundation of agriculture. In the past century there has been increasing concern to identify and quantify various forms of agriculture. In the developed world the range usually extends between

Hubbard Hatfield, Hampshire County, Mass., December 18th, 1850 Sir:Having received one of your Agricultural Circulars, I shall endeavor to give what information I can upon the cultivation of winter wheat. Winter wheat is cultivated only to a limited extent in New England, and especially in Massachusetts. I believe it can be cultivated with profit on the "alluvial bottoms" of the Connecticut and other large rivers. In this town, 20 bushels per acre are considered an ordinary crop25 and 30 quite commonand, in favorable seasons, we sometimes have 40 and 50 bushels per acre, which, being in the market, readily commands $1.25 per bushel. Our mode of cultivation is as follows: After land has been cultivated for a number of years, it is frequently seeded down to clover, for the purpose of renovating it. After lying thus for one or two years, the second growth is ploughed under, generally in the month of September, and is immediately sown. It is also sown to a considerable extent after broom-corn. The broom is cut as early as possible in autumn, and the stalks, making a great quantity of vegetable matter, are buried in the soil with a plough adapted for the purpose; then, previous to sowing, the ground is rolled and harrowed, in order to make the soil as finely pulverized and compact as possible. Seed wheat is prepared by soaking 1 or 2 days in strong solution of salt-petre, then the water is drained off, and the seed is rolled and dried with lime. This is a very effectual remedy against smut.
