Farm production in the US increased during the 19th century due to advances in farming machinery and the expansion of farming land due in part to the Homestead Act. The expansion of the railroad system also contributed, adding to farmers the ability to ship their products to various markets.As the 20th century began, the introduction of fertilizers increased farm production. Still later the introduction of pesticides reduced losses in production due to insects.

In the antebellum years, the cotton gin allowed for increased production in cotton.
