Farms had better ways of harvisting in 1831 when Cyrus McCormic built the horse drawn reaper which had sharp blades, making it easier to cut grain.Cyrus McCormick planned, tested his invention in just 6 weeks! For example, if you had a whole field of grain it would take you 20 hours to harvest grain by hand! The horse drawn reaper made this job capable of being done in less than 1 hour.

In 1837 another great invention came along...the steel plow. John Deere invented it. He was a blacksmith. Farmers during this time had to use wooden plows, which would often break in the tough soil. This wonderful new invention didn't break in tough soil.
