Agricultural Policy and Legislative Milestones

Specific laws and government acts that reshaped agricultural land or education, including the United States Homestead Act of 1862 and Morrill Act, and Britain's 1846 Repeal of the Corn Laws. Belongs here: a named law or government act whose passage is itself the milestone. Does not belong here: a broader multi-decade transformation that no single act created, grouped under Agricultural Revolutions and Transformations, or a famine that followed from policy but is remembered for its human toll rather than for the act itself, grouped under Agricultural Famines and Disasters.
