Best Answer

The McCormick reaper exponentially increased the agricultural output. While this raised supply and quantity of U.S. imports, it was also detrimental to farmers because it caused a deflation of price in the crops. Furthermore, due to the fact that the reaper was quite expensive, agriculture slowly started to shift towards rich companies rather than poor, local farmers. The reaper made agriculture far more mechanized and competitive.
