Description
In July 1831, Cyrus McCormick’s invention, the first successful mechanical reaper, was demonstrated in one of McCormick’s wheat fields. The reaper, which harvested grain five times faster with much less effort than a man with a scythe or sickle, was a revolution in agriculture. (http://www.goinhome.com/2008/cyrus-mccormick-farm.html)
