McCormick in 1831 created the first marla harvester, shaped like a 2 rounds of the carriage, has the cutter blades, wheel is designed and set ears, basic have later all an important part of a harvester. 1834 patents, a factory manufacturing in Chicago in 1847. Invented McCormick harvester quickly popular in the United States, and later through a variety of exposition, selling to Europe. French academy of sciences praised MaiKeMi grams "over all the biggest contribution to agriculture." He created the company merged with other companies, international harvester in 1902, is still the world's largest agricultural machinery manufacturing co., LTD. With the development of science and technology, with animal traction harvester was replaced by the combine harvester of powered by gasoline engine, played a huge role in agricultural production. Modern combine harvester is using air conditioning and shockproof, prevent noise cab, hydraulic control and electronic monitoring and automatic control devices, etc. In 1974, the world has been program control, automatic, unmanned prototype. Combine harvester will increasingly towards automation and adaptable aspect development.
Crystal palace in 1851, the first London expo, resplendent and magnificent hall, various novel invented many visitors stunned, eye-opening, industrialized production of achievement let all practitioners in the field of experience a revolution is coming. Although is world expo of Britain, but as the United States in the emerging world has brought thousands of surprising new inventions, among them, the americans McCormick invented a harvester let those one thousand face upwards toward the loess back farmer cultivates deeply realized, mechanization of agricultural production wil...

...nna, Austria, after a lot of improved McCormick harvester began to use diesel engine as the drive, harvesting efficiency to obtain enhances greatly, can be a complete harvesting, threshing, separating, cleaning process, clean grain. Later, on the basis of his sons McCormick merged other companies, to become the world's largest agricultural machinery manufacturing co., LTD. French scientists praised McCormick "made more than all the biggest contribution to agriculture." The biggest combine harvester, is now equipped with more than 500 horsepower, the efficiency per hour can receive 50 tons of wheat, it should be said that it is a very high efficiency, large agricultural equipment. Today, harvester throughout the rest of the world has become the necessary tools for agricultural production, and towards intelligent degree is higher, more productive, more economical way.
International Harvester started as McCormick Harvesting Machine Company in 1847, founded by Cyrus Hall McCormick and was consolidated by his Son Cyrus Hall McCormick Jr. 1902. About Farmall and IH, Burlington. McCormick harvesting consolidated with Deering Harvester Company; Plano Manufacturing Company; Warder, Bushnell, and Glessner Company; and Milwaukee Harvester Company. This became known as the International Harvester Company. About Farmall and IH, Burlington

In 1901 Cass Gilbert (1859-1934) designed the elaborate hall for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held in Saint Louis in 1904. This short-lived structure deserves attention, as it was a main focus of the fair and an important benchmark in its designer's career.
As the plows got more popular, John Deere moved his business to Moline, Illinois in 1848 (“John Deere Timeline” para. 5). John Deere’s headquarters is now located in Moline, Illinois (“Deere” para.1). After meeting Leonard Andrus, he became John Deere’s co-partner in plow- making (“John Deere Timeline” para. 4) In 1849, John Deere had built 2,136 plows with only 16 people (“John Deere Timeline” para. 6). The first Deere product was a steel plow that would go through the soil in the midwest prairie without clogging (“Deere” para.2). In 1869 Charles Deere and a guy by the name of Alcah Mansure branched off and made a company, Deere, Masur & Co, which was a distributor of Deere products (“John Deere TImeline” para. 14). John Deeres’ company had five branches off of it in 1889 (“John Deere Timeline” para. 26). John Deere combined their par...

In 1764, a British inventor named James Hargraves invented the “Spinning Jenny.” This lowered production time, which enabled the factory to produce more per day. In 1773, John Kay, an English inventor, created the “flying shuttle” which lowered the production time even more. If production had not been speeding up, the Industrial Revolution would have not had that much of an effect as it did in North America. The Industrial Revolution brought more jobs to North America, because the factories needed the workers....
New technologies not only allowed farming to become more efficient, but made the process of shipping crops west much easier. The most important innovation in farming itself was the horse-drawn combine, which required many horses to operate, but allowed wheat, a popular crop to grow in the west, to be harvested en masse. (Document D) However, railroads were also incredibly important for farmers, as they allowed Wheat, cotton, and corn to be transported across the country
By implementing new farming techniques provided with the new technological advances in machines we can see abundant harvest in even the poorest third world countries. For example, the Green Revolution has already showed admirable progress in the northern part of India ever since it took start in 1950. By 1997, northern India increased its grain production by 37 percent. This has proven that traditional farming methods are being rendered obsolete. And because by the year 2000, there will be half the land per person in developing countries as there was in 1970, we need to apply ultra-efficient methods to sustain the growing need. Not only does the Green Revolution enhances food output, it also preserves the environment.

China is potentially a huge market for small diesels. Sales of diesel-powered agricultural machinery and vehicles had grown by more than 10% annually since 1985, and this growth rate was forecast to continue until at least the year 2000.
Eli?s invention inspired other people to attempt to make their own farming tools. ?The development of effective iron plows greatly eased the backbreaking job of tilling the soil.? (Tindall, 419) In 1819, Jethro Wood improved the iron plow by using separate replaceable parts. Improvements thereafter included John Deere?s steel plow (1837) and the chilled-iron steel plow of John Oliver (1855).
During the 1800’s Great Britain’s empire stretched around the world, and with raw materials easily available to them this way, they inevitably began refining and manufacturing all stages of many new machines and other goods, distributing locally and globally. However, despite being the central ‘workshop of the world,’ Britain was not producing the highest quality of merchandise. When comparing factory-made products made in England to surrounding countries, most notably France, those products could not compare as far as craftsmanship and sometimes, simply innovation. It was suggested by Prince Albert that England host a sort of free-for-all technological exposition to bring in outside crafts into the country and also show their national pride.

Technology has served as the prime force in removing the farmer's hands from the soil. This technology has come in the form of machinery - and bigger and more "advanced" machinery - and in the form of chemical fertilizers. In a book review of Kent Meyers' The Witness of Combines, Pat Deninger writes:
Farming has been an occupation since 8,500 B.C. On that year in the Fertile Crescent farming first began when people grew plants instead of picking them in the wild. Then nearly 5,000 years later oxen, horses, pigs, and dogs were domesticated. During the middle ages, the nobles divide their land into three fields. The reasoning for this was to plant two and leave one to recover. This was the start of crop rotation which is a big part of farming today. Burning down forest and then moving to another area is a farming technique used by the Mayans called Slash and burn. Mayan farmers also were able to drain swampy areas to farm them buy building canals. In 1701 Jethro Tull invented the seed drill and a horse drawn how that tilled the land. In Denmark they would plant turnips in the previously unplanted field. The turnips help restore the nutrients in the ground thus crop rotation is born. In England people began moving there fields closer to each other for a more efficient way of planting. Later in the 18th century selective breeding was introduce which made bigger, stronger, and more milk producing livestock. In the mid 1800’s a steam plough was invented. By the 1950 tractors, milking machines, and combines were used by almost farmers. The latest f...
