I believe it was Charles Townshend I believe he made it during the 16th century and the thing didn’t even become popular until the 18th century

Answer:

Charles Townshend

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles Townshend

Farmers in the region of Waasland (in present-day northern Belgium) pioneered a four-field rotation in the early 16th century, and the British agriculturist Charles Townshend (1674–1738) popularised this system in the 18th century
