Lesson 11 of 15 • 19 upvotes • 11:35mins
The lesson discusses about the coming of new technology and new machines that enabled quick production and quick harvesting to the big farmers. We see, how a Walking plough marches it's way and then the tractors and then the Mechanical reaper. These power-driven machines later on reduce the number of workmen required by the Farmer thereby, enabling them to more and more profits from Wheat production.
