Synopsis
How farm machinery reshaped farming—and what it meant for workers
This historical study explains how machines changed what farms look like, who gets work, and how wages evolved. It uses census data and regional comparisons to show where and why machine power mattered most in crops, farm size, and labor use.
The book traces the shift from hand methods to machine methods, and what that meant for the lives of independent farmers, laborers, and families on the farm. It also looks at the broader social effects, including changes in daily work, education, and the distribution of work across regions.
- How machinery affected farm size and the balance between dependent and independent farming
- Wage patterns and job availability under hand versus machine methods
- The regional differences in crop production and the role of cereals and hay
- The long view of labor, population, and the educational influence of mechanization
Ideal for readers interested in agricultural history, economic change, and how technology reshapes work on farms.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the immense effects of machinery on agriculture and the lives of agriculturalists. The author draws data from the mid-19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, during which agricultural machinery was developing rapidly. Through an analysis of historical shifts in crop production and labor trends, the book demonstrates that machinery has been responsible for a massive increase in crop yields and a simultaneous decrease in the agricultural workforce. The author also discusses the impact of machinery on the quality of agricultural goods and the lives and working conditions of individual agricultural laborers. The insights contained within this book provide valuable context for examining the role of machinery in the modern agricultural industry and economy.
