The Southern Cultivator is a defunct agrarian publication that was published in the Southern United States.
The journal was started by J. W. Jones and W. S. Jones in Augusta, Georgia in 1843.[1][2][3] Its publication started prior to De Bow's Review, which was established three years later, in 1846.[3] Indeed, the Southern Cultivator has been said to be "the Confederacy's oldest, strongest, and intellectually most impressive agricultural journal."[3] Its editors were Dennis Redmond and Charles Wallace Howard.[3] Its publisher was J. P. Harrison.[4]
Southern Cultivator was published twice a month.[1] After the American Civil War of 1861–1865, its offices moved to Athens, Georgia.[1] It was then moved to Atlanta.[1] It later absorbed other similar publications, including the Dixie Farmer.[1] The title shifted over time to reflect these absorptions; it was known as The Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farmer from the 1880s until 1926, and as Southern Cultivator and Farming in 1926 and 1927, and once again as Southern Cultivator from 1928 to 1935. It was renamed Southern Farmer in 1935.
