42. History Of BC Agriculture - Ministry Of Agriculture, Food And Fisheries
    This document provides some history and statistics of the agriculture industryin British Columbia. history of agriculture in British Columbia.  
    http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/aboutind/history.htm
    
    Extractions: The inhabitants of any area depend on the products provided by the land to survive. Agriculture in British Columbia today came with the influx of Europeans who came in search of furs and later gold. However, the utilization of the land as a source of food and domestic materials began much earlier with the hunting, gathering and processing of natural products by the aboriginal people. The dramatic development of the agricultural industry is reflected in statistics recorded over the years. In 1891, the Canadian census placed the total population of the province at 98,173. Of this, 22% (22,000 approx) were located on 6,500 farms, mostly located on Vancouver Island, the lower mainland and in the Okanagan and Kootenay valleys. One hundred years later, the 1991 census shows the past trend towards urbanization with only 1.5% (61,135) out of a total population of 3,282,060 living on farms. The total number of farms had increased to 19,225. The farm of the 1890's was more closely linked to the farm of two centuries ago, than of today. There were no cars, few telephones and little electricity. Most of the work now done by gasoline and diesel powered equipment was done by the 17,000 horses in use on British Columbia farms in 1894. Tractors first appeared in the early 20th century and by 1922 numbered 332. Today there are well over 33,000. As late as 1933, there were only 20 combines - today there are over 1700 in the province. To produce 1 acre (20 bushels) of wheat in 1890 with a gang plow, a seeder, a harrow, a binder, a thresher, and wagons and horses, took 8 to 10 man hours of labour. It has been said that to produce today's crops without fuel and electricity and with turn of the century technology would require 27 million more farm workers and 61 million more horses and mules.

    How Does Your Garden Grow? . history of agriculture. Before agriculture. Beforeagriculture, people lived by hunting wild animals and gathering edible plants.  
    http://schoolscience.rice.edu/duker/garden/gardenhis.html
    
    Extractions: Before agriculture, people lived by hunting wild animals and gathering edible plants. When the herds were plentiful and the plants flourishing, life was good. But, when the herds migrated elsewhere, people had to follow them and often discover a whole new set of plants to supplement their diet. Hunters eventually realized that their prey was much easier to kill if it were walled up in a box canyon. Better yet, they could capture the prey and keep it in a cave for future use. Archaeological finds show that early humans imprisoned giant ground sloth's in this way. Entrapment, however, was a temporary measure. Not thinking of the future, hungry humans gorged themselves, then, when the sloths had all been eaten, they sought out more sloths. maintaining a herd by breeding and nurturing wasn't yet practiced. This "feast or famine" lifestyle had its definite drawbacks including starvation. Fortunately, several geniuses throughout the world eventually discovered how to preserve meat by drying it, smoking it over a fire, or cooking it. some others realized that it they took the seeds of the plants they had been eating and scattered them about, they grew into new plants. Eventually, people decided that life would be a lot easier if they always had the animals with them and if edible plants or their produce were always available. Settling down seemed like a good idea.

    Extractions: History of Agriculture in Cumberland County Welcome to Cumberland County - the "Garden Spot of the Garden State!" Agriculture has been an integral part of life and commerce in Cumberland County since pre-Revolutionary times. Original inhabitants and farmers of Cumberland County were Lenni Lenape Indians. The name means "Original People." Upon their first arrival nearly 10,000 years ago, Lenni Lenape tribes found little open land. They established villages close to streams and burned the forests to create open tillable fields. Indians knew the importance of good soil management. Wood ashes were turned into the soil; heads, tails and entrails of fish and game were buried for fertilizer. Weeds were destroyed, and water was supplied when necessary. Crops were simple corn, several kinds of beans, squash, pumpkins and melons. Swedish immigrants were among the first European farmers in South Jersey, beginning to cultivate the soil in the mid 1600's. Farming expanded in Cumberland County until 1776, when many of the farms were devastates by the British in the American Revolution.

    Extractions: Agriculture Sheep Farming: (1810-1940) Valley Ridge Farm, Orwell Sheep farming in Vermont dates back to the 18th century when the state's earliest settlers brought sheep with them as part of their family agricultural operations. The early sheep were of no particular breed, and they were raised for the dual purpose of mutton and wool for the family. Beginning in the 1810s sheep farming began to develop from a largely subsistence operation into an industry that gave Vermont national prominence, first for the production of wool, and later for its superior sheep breeding. During the second half of the 19th century, sheep farming began to decline and was gradually eclipsed by the dairy industry. Stock Breeding (1790-1940) Marshfield, Vermont The history of stock breeding in Vermont dates back to the 1790s when Justin Morgan of Randolph Center advertised his colt for stud in 1793-4. The progeny of Morgan's horse made Vermont nationally famous in subsequent decades as the home state of the Morgan breed. However, it was not until the 1820s with the development of sheep farming that significant stock breeding occurred among other kinds of livestock. In the latter half of the 19th century, interest in stock breeding gained considerable importance as breeder associations were established, and animal husbandry in general developed into an increasingly specialized, scientific vocation.

    Extractions: A pioneer farmer guiding his horse-drawn metal plow A wagon being loaded from a barn An old ice house at Raymer Brown's farm Another essential piece of equipment was the wagon. Wagons were used to transport grain, and haul manure and wood. In the winter the wagon box was placed on skis and used to haul ice from the river. The ice was placed inside an ice house, insulated with sawdust and used to refrigerate meat and milk products during the summer. Grain farming was by no means the only form of agriculture practiced by early prairie families. Each farm kept cows, chickens, and pigs, and had a large garden. The animals provided meat, milk, and butter for the family while the garden produced a good supply of vegetables. Excess butter and eggs could be traded for the few items the farm could not produce. Farmers would try to make the animals and the garden provide for their household needs while the crops would be used to pay for the land. The History The Gallery People Mutual Insurance ... Home

    Extractions: Pioneer Farming in the Watershed When the early pioneers arrived, they needed to get crops in right away. Instead of chopping trees down to clear the fields, they girdled the trees and planted crops under them. Girdling involves cutting a shallow circle around the trunk. Eventually this kills the tree by stopping the flow of sap through the sapwood, thereby preventing leaves from growing that would shade the crop. Later they cleared the dead trees to make fields for planting. They raised row crops like wheat and corn in the narrow fields created in the bottomlands along the creeks that flow through the Ozark hills. Farmers then took their wheat and corn to mills , powered by water wheels, to grind the crops into flour and corn for making bread and other food. When farmers fenced the fields where they grew crops and vegetables, they usually used split rails to keep their livestock out. Today we use fences to keep livestock in, but in those days, everyone let their hogs, cows and goats graze in the woods because the land was rough and there was plenty of it for the amount of livestock they had. Farmers would often burn the woods in spring to stimulate the growth of forage grasses for the livestock. And they could tell which livestock belonged to which farm because they often burned an identifying mark on their livestock using a branding iron.
