"Horse-hoeing Husbandry: or, an Essay on the Principles of Vegetation and Tillage" by Jethro Tull is a scientific publication written in the early 18th century. The work lays out Tull's innovative method of agriculture, focusing on principles of tillage, vegetation, and the benefits of using specialized instruments for better crop yield. It aims to advocate for a new approach to farming that would increase productivity while reducing costs. The opening of the text consists of a preface followed by an introduction to Tull’s theories on agricultural practices. It discusses the shortcomings of traditional farming methods and highlights the significance of his principles, such as horse-hoeing and the use of drills for sowing seeds. Tull emphasizes the need for farmers to embrace new techniques to improve their yields, particularly in light of economic pressures. The text persuades readers to reconsider conventional methods and introduces various instruments designed to enhance efficiency in cultivation, hinting at the profound shift in agricultural practices he proposes.
