Farming biggest step
The industrial revolution of the 1800s made a huge impact on American agriculture, everything from the western expansion of the railroads to education in agriculture. The civil war marked a great turning point in America’s history, in the last decades of the country factories and steel mills appeared on the scene fueled by immigrant labor. The great transcontinental railroads linked the country like never before. Before the industrial revolution most of the people in the world farmed to keep them selves from starving but because the industrial revolution people had time to do other things. These great innovations and discoveries led to the world we live in now.

“The years 1783-1830 were characterized by expansion westwards and the ‘first beginnings of the application of science’. During the period from 1830 to 1860 most of the epoch-making inventions in agriculture machinery were brought into use and resulted in a complete transformation in the character of the industry’ from 1860 to 1887 the industry capitalized on this newly established commercial base with ‘such an expansion of agricultural enterprise as the world had never seen before and may never see again” (Weiss, …show more content…
The northern states began to industrialize. We started seeing new technology being used and we were exploring a lot more. The south was reliant on the plantations there running on slave labor, king cotton was booming. With the invention of the cotton gin, the industry grew and grew. The government wanted to focus on agricultural learning. The hatch act of 1887 granted land and funds to universities for agricultural research and experimentation. In 1890 a second Morril act funded black agricultural colleges. “Government support of science, technology, and education to improve agriculture gave American farmers an edge over the rest of the world.

Research into new varieties of foodstuffs (such as navel oranges for California and sugar beets for the Midwest), the introduction of early organic insecticides, and fertilizer testing programs were a few of the early USDA projects undertaken to improve agriculture and life in America. As the USDA shared its discoveries with the American public the landscape began to change. Farmers returning to their crops and livestock from agricultural science schools and agricultural demonstration and extension programs began experimenting with new techniques to improve production”(Farias,
