Other Hawaii Agricultural Histories (prior to 1778) "Original settlers of Polynesia migrated through South-East Asia and Indonesia across Melanesia, before settling the Polynesian islands from 1000 BC to 500 AD. Hawaii was one of the last island groups to be settled. Archaeological evidence indicates the first Polynesians arrived in Hawaii from the Marquesas between 500 and 700 AD."

The 514 percent decline in farm ownership by African-Americans is even more alarming, considering the rich history of African-American farmers. According to Ford, during the Civil War and in the periods immediately following, most of the country's raw materials were produced in the South, while most manufacturing occurred in the North. "Most of the five million former slaves living in the South after the Civil War began farming," said Ford. "Generally, those who stayed in the South made their living by farming." Ford himself can trace his family's history to a Robeson County farm, which belonged to his great-grandfather, a former slave. According to Ford, the farm was earned through seven years of servitude performed by his great grandfather's oldest son.

    Extractions: The Agriculture History Farm Park Montgomery County has played a significant role through the years in the nation's most basic but important industry: agriculture. Throughout the 18th century "tobacco growing" days, the 19th century "grain production" and the growth of dairy farms in the 20th century, Montgomery County has continued as a forerunner in agricultural yields and methods. The Depression, following prolonged tobacco culture at the end of the 18th century, resulted in the formation of the Sandy Spring Farmers' Society which promoted "scientific farming." Within a few years, county farmers organized what is considered the nation's first agricultural fair and the first agricultural journal. The impact that county farmers had on local, state and national agriculutural events would continue under the leadership of Sandy Spring's frugal Quakers and men like Dr. William Brewer of Poolesville, who was the founder of the Medley's District Agricultural Grange, which hosted Maryland's first Farmers' Institute. Allen Bowie Davis led the drive that created the Maryland Agricultural College, now the University of Maryland , even offering his own land for a campus!

    Extractions: Of Agriculture, 1650 Introductory Note Abraham Cowley (1618-1667) was educated at Westminster School and later at Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he was ejected with most of the Masters and Fellows for refusing to sign the Solemn League and Covenant in 1644. In the same year he crossed to France in the suite of Lord Jermyn, Queen Henrietta Maria's chief officer, and remained with the royal family in exile for twelve years. After the Restoration he became a doctor of medicine, and was one of the first members of the Royal Society. He is buried in Westminster Abbey. The Essay The first wish of Virgil (as you will find anon by his verses) was to be a good philosopher, the second, a good husbandman: and God (whom he seem'd to understand better than most of the most learned heathens) dealt with him just as he did with Solomon; because he prayed for wisdom in the first place, he added all things else, which were subordinately to be desir'd. He made him one of the best philosophers and the best husbandmen; and, to adorn and communicate both those faculties, the best poet. He made him, besides all this, a rich man, and a man who desired to be no richer "O fortunatus nimium, et bona qui sua novit!"

    Extractions: NativeTech: Native American Technology and Art NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY OF CORN Read about some Uses of Indian Corn Try some Recipes from the Woodland Culture Area Evolution of Maize Agriculture Corn or maize (zea mays) is a domesticated plant of the Americas. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans. Crops developed by Native Americans quickly spread to other parts of the world as well. Over a period of thousands of years, Native Americans purposefully transformed maize through special cultivation techniques. Maize was developed from a wild grass (Teosinte) originally growing in Central America (southern Mexico) 7,000 years ago. The ancestral kernels of Teosinte looked very different from today's corn. These kernels were small and were not fused together like the kernels on the husked ear of early maize and modern corn. By systematically collecting and cultivating those plants best suited for human consumption, Native Americans encouraged the formation of ears or cobs on early maize. The first ears of maize were only a few inches long and had only eight rows of kernels. Cob length and size of early maize grew over the next several thousand years which gradually increased the yields of each crop. Eventually the productivity of maize cultivation was great enough to make it possible and worthwhile for a family to produce food for the bulk of their diet for an entire year from a small area. Although maize agriculture permitted a family to live in one place for an extended period of time, the commitment to agriculture involved demands on human time and labor and often restricted human mobility. The genetic alterations in teosinte changed its value as a food resource and at the same time affected the human scheduling necessary for its effective procurement.
