Before the 19th century, farming was done by hand and by using small tools. The Market and Industrial Revolutions brought about lots of new inventions that benefitted agriculture. Very few people changed American agriculture more than Cyrus McCormick did in the 1800’s. His invention, the McCormick mechanical reaper, revolutionized farming by putting together many parts involved in harvesting crops into one machine.

From 1865 to 1900 agriculture was at war, shifting from small, individual farms to larger commercialized farms because of the devaluing of currency, competition from corporate farms with more land and better technology, and government policies that proved detrimental to those clinging to old ways of life. To escape debt and seek profit in new lands, many farmers started working westward but so did corporations looking to expand. Because of westward expansion, companies like the union pacific railroad company built railroads that connected lands all across the U.S. and earned 10 miles of land in either direction of the railroad. This land put the railroad in control of many western lands and in control of the prices of land, travel and resource transportation.
Farm technology made a lot of progress from 1890-1920. Before this time, all the farming was done by hand. There were many inventions from wire to tractors to help make farming easier. Three inventions that really changed farming were gas tractors, cream separator and horse drawn combine. Gas tractors were created so that you didn’t have to use your horses so much and so you could pull more.

The mechanical reaper was a sleigh-type of machine that hooked up to a horse with a blade invented by a farmer, Cyrus McCormick this amazing invention. Cyrus McCormick didn't need to be good at marketing or salesmanship, because he was such but Cyrus was very good at both that's why the mechanical reaper had so much success.

Moi Banerjee 1/7/14 CP: 1 APUSH DBQ Technology, government policy and economic conditions changed the American agriculture drastically in the period 1865-1900. Technology increased hugely over the years but the prices were outrageous to the agriculture society. Because farmers could not afford anything, they lived in poor conditions. Although the farmers were the “front-face” of the society and provided everything for the country, people were forgetting about the, and they were not being represented enough in the government and its policy.

The environmental and economic conditions that impacted the wheat farmers of the Saskatchewan in the 1930’s was the value due to war and weather condition. The prairies were heavily reliant upon wheat farming, during World War I was a good industry; the price of corps had risen drastically allowing Farmers to make profit, however after the war the value of crops declined rapidly, making the farmers broke. In a matter of years, the issue grows bigger; farmers lost their crops due to economic conditions. In 1928, weather started to affect farmers for instance: drought, high temperature, and swarms of grasshoppers were conditions that destroyed the crops across the prairies. In addition, within 1935 the flat lands of the prairies were met with
Famous oil baron and philanthropist Lloyd noble once said: “No civilization can survive the time when its agricultural community is destroyed”. Why? He said this because agriculture may well be the single most important facet of the United States industry. Agriculture feeds people. And the biggest producer in agriculture?
For several years the government has played an active role in farming. Beginning with the New Deal, which allowed farmers to take out loans with their corn as collateral until grain prices increased. The New Deal helped maintain stability and security for corn production until campaigns to abort the new farm plan took over. After the New Deal the current system of deficiency payments came into effect around 1973. Deficiency payments encouraged farmers to sell their grain for a low cost because farmers believed the government would pay them for its true worth.
