sowing the seed
Many of the farmers brought seeds with them from their homeland to plant the first crops. To plant the crop, a farmer carried the seeds in a bag that hung over his shoulder. He scattered handfuls of seed as he walked along.A seed drill was invented by Jethro Tull in 1701.
Early drills were small and could be pulled by one horse. The drill planted the seeds in rows and covered the seeds.
Later, when larger drills were made, a farmer needed more horses to pull the machinery.
