What

Why

However, the seeder plow had both positive and negative impacts on the ancient world. While the seeder plow made farming more efficient and caused a major population growth, it also had some negative impacts as well. For one Mesopotamia was on the fertile crescent, and while this area was great for farming Mesopotamia lacked the metals and other materials needed for the plow to be made. This caused their production to be much slower than if they had the materials to make the plow in their area. It also required three people to work. While it did make farming more efficient than by hand, it still took a lot of labor and people to work .

Impacts

The seeder plow also led to the inventions of modern farming technology such as the tractor. The tractor was a major technological advancement for farmers because it allowed more work to be done in even less time than it took by the seeder plow and by hand. The tractor was first invented in 1892 by John Frolich. This led to many farms going from having hundreds of workers to only o ne farmer being able to the same amount of work. The seeder plow was a major advancement in farming technology. It caused the ancient world to flourish and prosper, it had positive and negative impacts on the ancient and modern worlds, and it paved the way for modern inventions in the farming industry.
