Why Is Andrew Coventry Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Andrew Coventry FRSE was a Scottish agriculturist. He was the first Professor of Agriculture in Great Britain. Life Andrew Coventry, born in February 1762, was eldest son of Rev George Coventry, minister of Stitchell in Roxburghshire. Through his mother, Elizabeth Horn, he inherited the estate of Shanwell, near Kinross, and some other landed property in Perthshire. He was educated at the university of Edinburgh, and on 15 December 1782 elected a member of the Medical Society of Edinburgh. In September 1783 he graduated M.D. for a thesis De Scarlatina Cynanchica. It is not clear whether he ever practised as a physician; but he appears to have specialised in the sciences bearing upon agriculture.
