How does oil help machines work?
Oil is used in several ways, it can be a lubricant to help reduce friction in moving parts, a fuel to power machines, a hydrolic fluid to help transfer power and to prevent rust.
What region did the mechanical reaper Cyrus McCormick help?
Midwestern region.
Working principle of shell and tupe heat exchanger?
to cool hot fluit at certain temperature with the help of cold fluid
Why you need bearings?
Bearings help machines work smoothly and keep gears and machines that need bushings (with bearings in them) from wearing out too quickly. Bearings significantly reduce friction in working machines (with the help of a bit of oil and grease), thus reducing wear and tear--and reducing maintenance costs and times of repair.
How did a thresher function?
The objective of the threshing machine was to seperate out the grain (wheat or oats seeds) from the stalk on which they grew (the straw). The threshing machine was typically run by a tractor which had a long leather belt running from its power take-off pulley to a pulley on the thresher. Bundles of wheat or oats or barley would be forked (by hand) onto a moving conveyor (like a treadmill) on the front of the thresher that pulled the bundles into the thresher assisted by long reciprocating arms that helped to pull the bundles in. Internally, the bundles were beat and shook to remove the grain seeds. Layers of screens of different mesh sizes separated the seeds from the straw and a fine powdery chaff from the seed heads. The grain seeds were fed by an auger out of the thresher into a wagon, truck or a stationary grainery in a barn. The straw was blown out through a long tube of about 12 inches diameter to make a straw stack. The fine chaff might be blown out or collected at a separate outlet to minimize the otherwise very dusty and potentially flammable environment. The outer sides of the thresher had many pulleys and belts and, along with the conveyor, constituted a very dangerous piece of machinery when running. Threshing was a 1 or 2 day event on a typical farm and required the help of about 2 to 6 persons to efficiently get the job done. Usually, another farm was waiting for the availability of the use of the thresher.

How did advances in mechanization affect farm live in the late 1800's?
Farming in the early 1800's was difficult and tiring. Manual labor was the only way to get tasks done. Manual labor means the jobs done by hand, without the help of machines. The larger the farm, the more laborers it took to do the work. Inventors in the 1800's, some of whom were farmers themselves, created new machines to help make farming easier. Using machines to do work is called mechanization. Mechanization dramatically changed farming in the United States. A farmer was no longer limited to a "walking plow" but could buy a wheeled one that was pulled by horses. Many farms increased in size because farmers could do more work in less time as a result of the mechanization use on farms.
How does a dam help increase farm production?
By providing stored water for irrigation.
Cotton production increased with the help of what?
In the 1800's, the cotton gin increased the production of cotton ten fold (a lot), as cotton became more valuable by the minute in those days.
What happened to farm production during World War 2?
I am in no way an expert, but during WW2 farm production went up to the need for food. Victory gardens were also erected in peoples backyards to help support the army. USA! =)
What did the Agriculture Adjustment Administration AAA do in 1933?
Its purpose was to help farmers by reducing production of staple crops, thus raising farm prices and encouraging more diversified farming Its purpose was to help farmers by reducing production of staple crops, thus raising farm prices and encouraging more diversified farming
How gene products such as cellulose and genetically modified bacteria with increased capability for nitrogen fixation can facilitate raising farm plants and animals?
Nitrogen is an essential nutrients that facilitate plant growth thus using the genetically modified bacteria can help much in plant production which in turn can support the ecological balance

What ways did farm tenancy increase during the '20s and '30s?
There were several ways that farm tenancy increased during the 20s and 30s. First of all, people were bearing more children to help on the farm. Immigrants were also living on farms. It was the Depression era, so some families had to live together.
What was the Production Budget for The Help?
The Production Budget for The Help was $25,000,000.
