New inventions helped farmers to meet some of the challenges of farming in the late 1800s. The steel plow invented by John Deere in 1838 and improved upon by James Oliver in 1868 sliced through the tough sod. Windmills adapted to the plains pumped water from deep wells to the surface. Barbed wire allowed farmers to fence in land and livestock. Reapers made the harvesting of crops much easier, and threshers helped farmers to separate grain or seed from straw. These inventions also made farm work more efficient. From 1860 to 1890, farmers doubled their production of wheat.
Windmills were used to power wool factories. The spread of sheep farming for wool was displacing peasant farmers in much of Europe and Spain. The Don is defending the poor and the past. The windmills symbolise the big business titans of his times.
