The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-
saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery
naturally appeared first where labor was scare. In Europe, said Thomas Jefferson, the
object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of
our labour, land being abundant. It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in
nineteen-century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried
practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the
machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early
inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold f New Jersey had been
working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention.
The farmers, however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made
the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869
James Oliver of South Bent, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.
