Comments: Albrecht Daniel Thaer (Nee: ) | Germany | 1835-1850 | Comments: This picture of Albrecht Daniel Thaer appears on page 244 of The American Breeders Magazine, vol.II, no.4, 1911. There is a biographical sketch of him on pages 245-246 of that volume. Please see that reference for more details. See also the wikipedia entry for him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albrecht_Thaer). Thaer was born in the town of Celle in the province of Hanover, Germany in 1752, the son of a doctor. He first studied medicine and later became involved in the science of improvement of agriculture. In 1804 he moved to Moglin near Berlin and founded the Moglin Agricultural Institute. He wrote much on the topic of science in farming. He died in 1828. That is all the information I have on this picture. I am not researching this line, just saw the photo and thought I'd post it.
