== Early life and education ==
York was born and raised in the Valley Head community in DeKalb County in northeast Alabama, and came of age during the Great Depression.〔Jamie Creamer, "( A Lifetime of Achievement: AU Ag Alum Makes Mark on the World )," ''Ag Illustrated'', Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station (Winter 2006). Retrieved July 22, 2009.〕 After graduating from high school in 1939, York enrolled at Alabama Polytechnic Institute (API) (now Auburn University) in Auburn, Alabama, and earned his bachelor of science degree in agricultural science in 1942.〔 After completing his World War II service as a captain in the U.S. Army field artillery, York returned to API to continue his education in soil science.〔 During this time, he met and married Vermelle "Vam" Cardwell of Evergreen, Alabama, a business administration undergraduate and president of the API Women's Student Government Association.〔
York graduated from API with a master of science degree in agronomy and soils in 1946, and was accepted into the doctoral program at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.〔 At Cornell, he studied under nationally renowned soil scientist Richard Bradfield, who imparted to York his passionate interest in how food shortages contributed to chronic hunger in much of the developing world.〔 Much of York's later career would focus on ways to harness the resources of the U.S. land-grant educational system to alleviate world hunger.〔
After finishing his doctor of philosophy degree at Cornell, York was hired as an associate professor of agronomy at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he would later assume the chairmanship of the Department of Agronomy.〔 In 1956, he left North Carolina State to work as a regional director for the Potash Institute.〔University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, York Lecturer Series, ( Fall 1994 York Lecturer Biographical Sketch: Dr. E.T.
