Innovations in Farming:
For much of our history, American farmers faced special challenges, including dense forests, hard prairie soil, labor-intensive work, and a shortage of workers.
Farmers, mechanics and industrialists tried to address these challenges with practical solutions. Often, improvements were small. New inventions built on the successes of earlier ones.
But, occasionally, an invention would have far-reaching impact, revolutionizing how the work was done and how much farmers could produce. These were the great innovations that not only changed farm work but transformed our lives.
