Back before any farming machines were invented, farming was very difficult and caused a lot of labor.
Eventually, machines were made, such as the metal plow and much more. It made farm work a lot easier, and farms could sell more food than ever.
The first farming machine, the metal plow, was invented in 1837 by John Deere and Leonard Andrus.
These machines cost too much money for the small farms, but the bigger farms could afford these machines.
Since the smaller farms couldn't buy theses machines they could not compete with the bigger ones and moved to the city to find work
Because of this the population in the country side was decreased by a lot, while the city's increased
Grandpa, I never knew that and your great-grandma's story is so sad. But I have to ask how this will impact the future.
Ya dad, I never knew that. Charles, allow me to answer that question.
Because of industrialization's effect on farms, it caused over 20% of the planet's pollution, more jobs for people, a lot more food to sell and the small farms can't compete with the big ones.
