The first lawn mower was invented in 1830, by Edwin Budding, an engineer from England. The idea came after seeing a machine in a local cloth mill which used a cutting cylinder (or bladed reel) on a bench to trim cloth to make a smooth finish after weaving. He realised that it could work for cutting grass if he mounted it to a wheel and made the blades rotate closer to the grass.
These early machines were all made of cast iron and featured a large rear roller with a cutting cylinder (reel) in the front. Cast iron gear wheels transmitted power from the rear roller to the cutting cylinder. Overall, these machines were similar to modern mowers.
This helped farmers maintain excess lawn, and keep plants within reach. If they're blocked by grass, you can't harvest or plant crops.
We use lawn mowers today as well, Most people mow their lawns for animals to be able to live in backyards, maybe kids too, or maybe they just want their lawns to look nice with their gardens.

In 1701, Jethro Tull invented the seed drill, and then perfected the horse drawn seed drill.
This device allowed seeds to be easily planted in a straight line, because before farmers would just throw them on top of the ground and they would be washed away.
This made harvesting easier.
At the time his ideas came under attack because they were new.
The short term effect they had, was that there was a much higher chance of the sprouting and they were easier to harvest.

A Thresher is a machine made for separating wheat, peas, soy beans and other small grain/seed crops from their chaff and straw.
Andrew Meikle was a Scottish engineer, who made the mechanic Thresher around the 1780's.
In 1791, Thomas jefferson ordered one for his farm. ( we can assume this is where they took off )
Benefits were that you didn't have to spend hours picking seeds and small grains. This saved profit on hiring workers. It was also more efficient and worked faster.
When more modern technology was introduced, we combined it with several other crop machines.

The original mechanical reaper was designed by Obed Hussey, it was made in Baltimore, Maryland. It increased production by quite alot, hard labour wasn't necessary.
A reaper cuts and gathers crops at harvest. ( when they're ripe )
short term impacts were that it was more efficient and increased profit.
We still use reapers today, they're just combined with several other farming things in one big machine.

In 1890, John Froelich designed a one-cylinder gasoline engine onto the Thresher steam engines running gear, it could safely run at 3MPH and threshed over 1000 brushels of grain a day without any saftey issues.
He invented it because the previous machine farmers used we very dangerous.
Short term, it saved alot of money and time for farmers because they weren't doing manual labour.
From 1910-1970 tractor production increased rapidly from 1000 to nearly 1 Million!
The tractor comes with many benefits, such as:
work efficiency
You don't have to hire as many people to work for crazy amounts of time doing hard labour.
Tractors are dependable and always ready to use.
Promoted recreational farming ( gardening and landscaping)
Reduced lengthy work days that lead to fatigue.
And it just all around improved crop/farm quality.
Many farmers still use tractors today, in 2012 the first self driving tractor was made!
although they're even more efficient now, we still use tractors in our society.

General Working Conditions In The Industrial Revolution.

General Working Conditions In The Industrial Revolution.

# data[].attributes.body
Working conditions could be terrible, some people would only earn 8-10 dollars a week, and up to 70 hour weeks were worked.
For the first time ever in the I.R, agriculture was a business.
Agriculture became the largest source of employment because of the self supply benefit.
The people that produced the video ( with the picture in it ) are IowaPublicTelevision on Youtube.
The source tells us what it was like growing up in the I.R, and helping with farming.
The Audience would be historians, or just general researchers. Possibly farmers looking at history.
The purpose is to contrast the difference in agriculture and machinery from 80 years ago and now.
It's significant because it shows what some of the reactions were when machinery like tractors were introduced to farming.

In the Industrial Revolution, child labour was the normal. Most people were illiterate, because schooling was expensive and not mandatory.
Children were apprentices, assistants in the family business and farmers. They worked in fields and worked with livestock.
In Britain, boys worked with livestock and in fields.
Girls did domestic work inside the house.
Child labour wasn't seen as abusive, it was seen as an important practice, and helped the family survived.
It was also seen as training for when they grew up.
Boys would start a business by 21, and women prepared to become domestic servants for their own family.
The photographer of this image in unknown.
This picture shows the harsh conditions children were forced to work in.
The audience would be activists, believing children should go to school, and historians.
The purpose of this image is to show exactly how bad these working conditions could get.
It's significant because it shows how much we've progressed as a society, children go to school and child labour is illegal. Images like these often depict suffering and pain because of the conditions, and most of these people would live not very long after them because of disease or injury.

Farming was good for the people in the I.R, because you had a personal relationship with your boss.
This made life easier for you when you got sick/needed a break.
Though families never went hungry, they were extremely malnutritioned.
The government began to close off areas of farms ( enclosures. ) Families could no longer support themselves and had to move to urban areas to work in factories, women and children were hit the hardest by this change.
Farmers who could afford to stay had begun to provide for all of society, with profit coming in, they could afford to take risks with different crops and machinery.
Higher production meant higher profit, population increased and the average death age had decreased.
The artist of this source is unknown.
This source shows what life was like before, and semi-during the Industrial Revolution.
The audience is' would've been Nobles, museums and future historians.
It tells that EVERYONE had it hard in the Industrial Revolution, 15 hour work days were common for anyone physically capable of working.
It's purpose is to show how they worked, and who worked.
This is significant because this was the start of the I.R, so much changed in quite a short time actually, and that's why it made history, because this was a complete 🤬 for society.

Agriculture has very close to almost always had a large role in society, It's the reason most people eat.
The photographer of this picture is Ansel Adams, an American photographer and envriormentalist.
The picture shows how big farming had become after all of the peasants left, because farmers now had to provide for all of society. Peasants were forced to move to factories and couldn't afford farms anymore. Hard labour was still common, but with the progression of machinery it eventually became slightly easier.
The intended audience was likely Historians/ people who go to museums. So much was changing at the time, and there would come a point where people who were alive during the industrial revolution weren't alive to tell the stories, so the best way to make sure people knew what was happening was to document it, with writings and photographs.
The purpose is to show people what/ how they worked.
the significance of documents like these shows how much we've progressed as a society.

The artist of this image is unknown.
The context of this image is to show people what kind of work was done, you can see what kind of people worked ( multiple families, including children. ) This was likely towards the end of the I.R, because horse pulled anything didn't appear too much until the end of the 19th century.
The audience was likely intended to be nobles and rich people looking to fill their homes with art ( I don't know why you'd want a painting of peasants working but everyone has different tastes I guess. ) But it also could've been for future historians.
The message is that people worked hard labour back in 1750, the only reason you lived was to work.
The purpose of it is to show that people worked very hard for quite little in return, if you were born a peasant, you're probably gonna be a peasant all of your life.
The significance of paintings like these is that we wouldn't have any where near enough information to be able to say this is what happened in the I.R, we would only have diaries and the odd piece of evidence here and there but I doubt we would have nearly as much evidence.

Agriculture In The Industiral Revolution. ( introduction ) 

# data[].attributes.body
In 10,000 B.C, we moved from a hunting/gathering society, to a self sufficient farming society.
By the 16th century, enclosures were introduced to britain,  enclosures allowed wealthy nobles to buy previously public fields ( as peasants had never needed money before as they grew all of their own food, they couldn't afford to buy/rent the land to work on. )
Machinery changed alot too, there was often hard labour every day, and hand tools were used. Likely everyone was malnourished and disease was common, because crop yield wasn't great and you couldn't grow too many crops, which means you aren't getting too much variety.
The boom of agriculture started when peasants were forced to move out of their now enclosures. This left few farmers who could afford enclosures to farm. Mass machinery production began after people moved to urban areas and began working in factories. Becoming the only people who provide food for society, farmers began mass production of crops.
