The History of Farming

Dr. Harvey Joanning

Humans have been changing the animals and plants they live with for over 300,000 years. This presentation will briefly summarize those changes and focus on how modern agriculture has evolved over the last 200 years. From simple hoes to plows to combine harvesters, the technology of farming will be described along with how society has changed as farming has evolved. Bring your seed corn cap and bib overalls.
