Wealthy landowners bought up land once dominated by small farms. Started an agricultural revolution. Landowners enclosed their land with fences and hedges called enclosures to experiment with seeding and harvesting methods to increase crop yields.

Size of livestock increased due to breeding methods and diet. Sheep increased in weight from 18 to 50 lbs. on average Better diet for humans caused a population increased and longer life expectancies This also increased demand for food and cloth…..for clothes. More cloth production was necessary and food production for the rising population.
New farming methods: Jethro Tull’s seed drill in 1701 for deeper and well-spaced rows. Crop rotation – the system of growing a different crop in a field each year to preserve the fertility of the land. Industrialization Began in England because… 1.Water and coal to fuel machines. 2.Iron ore to construct machines, tools and building. 3.River for inland transportation. 4.Harbors for incoming ships.
