1917
The First Morrill Act of 1862 established land-grant universities, which were required to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. This act marked the beginning of formal agricultural education in the United States.
The beginning of agriculture is often estimated to have started around 10,000 years ago during the Neolithic Revolution. This marked the transition from hunting and gathering to settled farming practices, leading to significant advancements in human society and civilization.
Agriculture is believed to have first started in the Fertile Crescent region, which includes parts of modern-day Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. This area is known as the "Cradle of Civilization" due to its rich soil and favorable climate for farming.
Agriculture is an age old practice, started by some of the earliest humans. It does not have a known inventor, and even which culture started it is hard to pin down, as so many cultures around the world bare evidence of it, each getting progressively older as archeologists find older finds.
About 10,000 years ago in Soutwest Asia, the Neolithic Era, or New Stone Age started.

Agriculture, the planting, cultivating and harvesting of crops, started thousands of years before the industrial revolution.
The Smith-Hughes National Vocational Education Act of 1917 was an act of the United States Congress that promoted vocational agriculture to train and provide funds for people "who have entered upon or who are preparing to enter upon the work of the farm." It was one of the first acts of the government supporting vocational work.
