The combine harvester, invented in the 1830s, revolutionized grain farming in the late 19th and early 20th centuries because the machine could accomplish three separate tasks in one process-reaping, threshing, and winnowing. As thousands of acres of western land were settled for farming, with a great number of the new farms dedicated to grain, the combine was a boon for crop production. The efficiency of the machine ultimately allowed farmers to acquire vast tracts of land and still maintain them adequately with small or seasonal human workforces.
