The agricultural revolution in the 19
th
century involved two things: the invention of
labour -saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labour -s aving
machinery naturally appeared first where labour was scarce. "In Europe," said Thomas
Jefferson, "the object is to make the most of their land, labour being abundant; here it is to
2
make the most of our labour, land being abundant." It was in the United States, therefore,
that the great advances in 19
th
century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plough, farmers could
have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their back; 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 plough. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New
Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plough and spent his entire fortune in
introducing his invention. The farmers, however, were not interested in it, claiming that the
iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their
attention to the plough, until in 1869 James Oliver of Indiana turned out the first chilled-
steel plough.
