We started to see new patterns of crop rotation and livestock utilization and a much greater diversity of wheat and other vegetables. The enclosure act passed in britain meant that poor people were kicked off their land allowing more wealthier lords to purchase fields while pushing out small scale farmers. Because there was a boom in food supplies, farmers could spend more time producing goods that were not needed for survival. There was also an increase in technology, with invention such as the water frame, seed drill, and thresher machine.

Cyrus was born on the 15th of february 1809, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, united states and died on the 13th of may 1884, lllinois, united states. The machine was used to harvest crops mechanically, his invention allowed wheat and other crops to be harvested at a much higher rate than harvesting by hand and would need much less workers. The reaper could harvest about an acre of land in a hour, while if done by hand it would take almost up to a day to complete. it made farmers jobs much more easier and By the year 1860, more than 10,000 reapers were used on western farms.

Andrew was born in 1719 in Scotland and died November 1811. The Thresher was used for separating small grains such as wheat from the stalks or the husk. Before the invention of the thresher machine small grains were separated by hand or they were put under the hooves or horses or livestock to be separated by the livestock stamping down on the grain. Thresher machines reduced the need for manual labour however local farm labourers became fed up with the lack of work and job prospects and ended up revolting and smashing up threshers in what was known as the Swing Riots in the UK. The rioters were however severely punished with some being hung and most being shipped off to australia.

The water frame was a large spinning machine which spun lots of cotton threads all at once. The actual machine was invented in 1769 and used flowing water as its power source to turn the wheel which reduced the amount of human labor needed to operate the machine. It was also the first powered automatic and continuous textile machine. As this machine used water as its power, Richard Arkwright built factories near to the rivers and manufacturing expanded from small cottages into larger factories which in turn led to more local employment opportunities.

The inventor was Eli Whitney who was born on the 8th December 1765 and died on the 8th January 1825. In 1793 Eli invented the machine he called the cotton gin which greatly reduced the price of cotton as the machine greatly sped up the separation process and so more cotton could be produced however in the long term as more and more cotton was planted to keep up with increased demand the soil quality decreased and so cotton farmers had to encroach onto land belonging to the indigenous americans.

This was more efficient in growing crops due to the fact that the seeds were planted deeper and not washed away as they would be on the surface. The machine was pulled by horses and had rotating drills or runners that planted seeds at a set depth. The inventor of the seed drill was Jethro Tull who was born in 1679 and died in 1741. The original seed drill later advanced to horse drawn machines and the early day tractor which is widely used in agriculture today.

Child labour strengthened the industrial revolution by providing cheap labour . The articles show that the child labourers would work long hours and subsequently laws were put in place to protect the children involved and to increase school attendance. School houses provided education for children.

The purpose of this advertisement was to get farmers to buy Joseph Hare & Co products. The advert was quite detailed and stated that they provide a good quality product and more cost effective than manual labour, thus increasing profit for the farmer.

The seed drill was used from 1641. The article produced in 2003 showing this picture appealed to historians and people interested in the history of agriculture. The seed drill reduced the need for physical and manual labour and thus improved farming methods and increased production of crops. The photo shows the actual seed drill, the working conditions that farmers/labourers worked in and also the clothing worn during the operation of the machine.

Historians and people interested in the working conditions in agriculture during the industrial revolution would be intersted in this picture. The picture shows young women and children working in a large factory, overseen by a male supervisor. The picture shows what working conditions were like and that life was hard. People had to work long hours in poor conditions.

The picture shows a combination of factories near a water source, steam engines and various farming machines. The picture would appeal to farmers as the people in the picture who aren't working appear to be wealthy judging from their clothing and are strolling around admiring the work which would make a suggestion that the machinery would require less labour and produce more wealth for the land owners.
