JOHN DEERe invented a light-weight steel plow. Earlier plows made of heavy iron or wood had to be pulled by slow-moving oxen. A horse could pull this kind of plow much more quickly. Cyrus McCormick opened a factory in Chicago that produced mechanical reapers. A reaper was a horse-drawn machine that mowed wheat and other grains. McCormick's new reaper could do the work of five people using hand tools. These two tools helped farmers raise more money while using less people. This led to farmhands leaving the farms and either starting farms of their own, or working in factories in the North.
