It was second in importance only to the National Order of the Legion of Honour within the French order of precedence when it was created. The order was established on July 7, 1883 based on the proposition of the then Minister of Agriculture Jules Méline, in an effort to adequately reward services to agriculture in view of the maximum number of the Legion of Honours that could be awarded yearly. His reasoning was that more than eighteen million Frenchmen lived directly from this industry, which had a direct and most powerful impact on the entire national economy, farmers, agronomists, professors, researchers, labour was intensive and never ending, devotion was commonplace but the rewards were rare. The original 1883 decree created a single grade order, only \"\"Knights\"\" (Chevaliers) were thus decorated. The decree of June 18, 1887 added the grade of \"\"Officer\"\" (Officier) and a third grade, that of \"\"Commander\"\" (Commandeur) was created by a decree of August 3, 1900. The present form and statute of the Order of Agricultural Merit were outlined in decree 59-729 of June 15, 1959. The Order comprises approximately 340,000 Recipients to date, of which approximately 23,000 are alive at any given time, including all living former ministers of agriculture, officers number approximately 60,000 to date with approximately 5,000 living and approximately 4800 were made commanders to date, with approximately 400 living at any given time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis offering is a part of the \"Dr. Albert Goodwin Collection\", a preeminent assemblage of world Orders, Medals, and Decorations composed solely by Dr.Goodwin between 1946-1967.
