Luther Tucker (May 7, 1802, in Brandon, Vermont, to January, 26, 1873, in Albany, New York) was a publisher of farm journals in Rochester and Albany, New York. Tucker started Genesee Farmer (January 1, 1831), acquired The Cultivator (January 1840), and later started Country Gentleman (November 4, 1852). He also started Rochester Advertiser (October 27, 1826), later acquired by Rochester Union, and finally merged into Rochester Times-Union. The agricultural journals were quite popular before the U.S. Civil War, circulation then fell dramatically, rebuilding from lower numbers.
