   • 1794, John Boys, General View of the Agriculture of the County of Kent, with Observations on the Means of Its Improvement, Brentford: […] P. Norbury, page 39:

     This sort of soil being dry and very easy tillaged land, it may be managed as well under one course as another.

   • 1808, John Walker, An Economical History of the Hebrides and Highlands of Scotland, volume I, Edinburgh: […] [T]he University Press, page 330:

     The annual weeds, though baneful to our tillaged crops, are, comparatively, so little detrimental to our pastures, that they scarcely deserve notice in this place. It is by means of tillage, and the right management of tillaged land, that they are to be overcome.

   • 2023, Mark Spitznagel, Safe Haven: Investing for Financial Storms, Hoboken, N.J.: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., →ISBN, page 157:

     Herbivores managed on perennial pastures, where they were meant to live, is a huge solution—the whole is greater when these interacting parts are back together. (Missing that is an enormous opportunity cost, in exchange for another enormous explicit cost in the form of more tillaged, industrially farmed annual monoculture crops.)
