Journal of Agricultural Economics
In the 18th century, the number of newspapers, magazines, books and encyclopedias exploded. There was a need for information about new knowledge, new discoveries and new research results, which also affected the activities of the Agricultural Society. As early as 1776, the Agricultural Society began publishing an annual series of articles, in which long academic articles on economics and agriculture were published. It was also here that the winner of one of the society's theoretical prize assignments could be lucky enough to have his or her answer published. This series of articles continued with greater and lesser interruptions until 1817.
However, as early as 1814, the Agricultural Society had made another and much larger venture when it launched Journal of Agricultural Economics. However, it was not originally intended to be a modern journal. Rather, the idea was that the new journal would function as a kind of data bank, source of inspiration and frame of reference for progressive landowners, farmers, managers and others who worked with agriculture in one way or another.
In the first years of publication, one could Journal of National Economics find many and lengthy publications of the latest experiments in plant breeding and the cultivation of new farmland. It was also here that landowners, priests and other officials published their views on the future of agriculture.
