The Sunnmøre Practical Agricultural Society (Norwegian: Syndmøre practiske Landhuusholdningsselskab was a patriotic and non-profit association with the goal of developing business and agriculture in Norway's Sunnmøre district.
[3] The founding meeting was also attended by other officials and leading people at Sunnmøre, and several others joined later.
The society was inspired by the Royal Danish Agricultural Society, and among other things it promoted farmers' awards for useful measures and carried out educational work on improving agriculture and other industries in the district.
The society was one of the first of its kind in Norway, and it provided a model for similar associations elsewhere in the country.
The Norwegian Welfare Society was established in 1809 with its own district committee for Sunnmøre, and this district committee contained the same persons (the provost Peter Daniel Baade, the magistrate Ole Severin Kildal, and the bailiff Andreas Landmark) as the leadership of the agricultural society.
