Hide Profile

Arthur Young was an English civil servant and writer on agriculture and social economy. Born and raised in Suffolk, he began farming his family land and managed a farm in Essex; his agricultural experiments were largely unsuccessful, but he learned from the experience and produced several popular books on farming. He continued to write and travelled extensively, ultimately establishing himself at a farm in Bradfield. He became England's best-known advocate of agricultural reform, founded and edited the influential Annals of Agriculture, and helped establish the Board of Agriculture; he was also important in social and political issues.
