- Abstract:
The article discusses various issues related to innovations in farming technology. Mechanical reaper was invented in 1831 by 22-year-old Cyrus McCormick. The reaper was found to be far more efficient than the existing method of harvesting grain. By 1900, farmers using the mechanical reaper could easily harvest a bushel of wheat in just 10 minutes. It is stated that the next generation of farm machinery will use a GPS, computer monitoring systems, and electronic sensors.
