Klippart was born in Canton, Ohio on July 26, 1823.[1] Klippart worked for the Ohio State Board of Agriculture and has been described as the most "informed individual" of his time on wheat culture. He published a large book in 1858 documenting information about wheat plants and farming.[2]
Klippart was an early evolutionary thinker to have mentioned the concept of natural selection.[3] According to science historian Conway Zirkle "In 1858, Klippart showed how nature could displace one variety or species of wheat by another."[4]
