He helped improve the seed drill, which is a tool that put seeds in the ground to plant them faster. This seed drill was normally pulled by a horse or strong cattle. Jethro was one of the most influential engineers of this century. He began these [[invention]]s and soon after the [[economy]] thrived. The seed drill spaced out the seeds as well to keep the plants growing. In 1703 he perfected the seed drill, and the farmers in England began to use it. A short while after, [[Welsh]] farmers were introduced to this new machinery. {{biography-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Tull, Jethro}} [[Category:1674 births]] [[Category:1741 deaths]] [[Category:English scientists]] [[Category:Agricultural engineers]]
