The "Work" and "Legacy" sections are overwhelmingly based on Johnson's 1844 "Farmer's Encyclopedia", therefore they present a mid-19th century view of crop science. Can someone write an assessment of Tull's work using more modern and comprehensible language? I am fairly sure that this part is flat-out wrong, and one of the agricultural practices that led to the Dust Bowl: "In the driest weather good hoeing procures moisture to the roots of plants, though the ignorant and incurious fancy it lets in the drought." 198.137.18.221 (talk) 20:08, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
