Vegetation. Poem by Árni G. Eylands.
Árni G. Eylands was a native of Skagfjordur, born at Þúfi in Óslandshlíð on May 8, 1895. He graduated from Hólaskóli with a degree in agricultural science but then studied agricultural science in Norway and Germany, where he became acquainted with various innovations in farming, such as machinery and tools.
In 1921 he started working for the Icelandic Agricultural Association, including as a mill manager. Later, Árni became the Agricultural Association's tool consultant, managing director of the agricultural department of SÍS, the State Fertilizer Sales Department and the State Vegetable Store. He was then in charge of the Tool Committee and the Machinery Fund, where he was responsible for importing farm machinery and tools, as well as testing them. He also provided guidance on the use of farm machinery and technology. It can be said that Árni was involved in most of the things that concerned the great engineering revolution in agriculture that began in the 1930s. Later, Árni became a representative in the Ministry of Industry and the embassy representative in Oslo. He took on many national issues, wrote extensively in newspapers and magazines, and also published three books of poetry. He was the editor of Frey for a time. Árni wrote the book Búvélar og kybbó, which was published in 1950. The book is a large and unique source of information on the technological development of Icelandic agriculture in the first half of the 20th century, as well as being a textbook of its time in motor and agricultural machinery. Árni was very concerned with Nordic cooperation, not least the relationship with Norway, as well as relations with West Icelanders. He received many awards for his work. Árni G. Eylands died on July 26, 1980.
