Cyrus McCormick, also known as “The Father of Modern Agriculture”, is one of the most influential agricultural leaders in America. His invention, the mechanical reaper, not only changed the way farmers could harvest crops but it also improved their techniques tremendously. Furthermore, farmers did not need as many employees to work on their farm as they did before the mechanical reaper, resulting in the farmer paying less for farm hands and also more crops being produced by the machine faster. Farmer’s profits increased which made their businesses rise in value. Over time, his invention has become more modernized and is very beneficial to people in the agricultural fields.
