John Deere was born on this day in 1804. He industrialized agriculture.
And on a personal note, my mother, who died in 1990, would have been ninety today.

Your mom shares a birthday with Laura Ingalls Wilder, as well.
As well as Thomas More, Charles Dickens, Thomas Andrews, Sinclair Lewis, Eubie Blake, Oleg Antonov, Buster Crabbe, Al Worden, Dan Quisenberry, Emo Philips, Garth Brooks, Chris Rock, and Ashton Kutcher, to name a few that I’ve heard of.
Funny, that, I thought agricultural industrialisation was started by Jethro Tull in 1701. Maybe that’s just me being an ignorant Brit. /sarc
