The Plow (also "properly" spelled as plough).
The invention that helped farmers pump water from underground is the windmill, particularly the wind-powered water pump. Developed in the 19th century, these devices harnessed wind energy to operate a pump mechanism, allowing for efficient extraction of groundwater for irrigation. This innovation greatly improved agricultural productivity, especially in arid regions where water access was limited. Later developments included electric pumps, which further enhanced water management for farming.
The steel plow could work difficult soils
Jethro Tull's seed drill, invented in the early 18th century, played a crucial role in the Agricultural Revolution by enabling more efficient planting of seeds. Unlike traditional broadcasting methods, the seed drill allowed seeds to be sown in neat rows at the proper depth, which improved germination rates and crop yields. This innovation not only maximized land use but also contributed to the shift towards more systematic and scientific farming practices, ultimately enhancing agricultural productivity.

John Deere's 1837 invention of the plow was driven by the need for more efficient farming tools to cultivate the tough, sticky soil of the American Midwest. Farmers required a plow that could effectively break through this challenging earth, which traditional iron plows struggled to do. Deere's design featured a polished steel blade that reduced soil adhesion, allowing for smoother and more effective plowing. This innovation significantly improved agricultural productivity and helped support the expansion of farming in the region.
Irrigation. It improved fertility and made farming more efficient.
because then they wouldn't have to do as much work and expend as much enegy
NOTHING.
I would say the person who improved farming more than anyone else was George Washington Carver.
Improved farming techniques lead to the division of labor. It allowed people to diversify and not concentrate solely on basic human needs.

by giving out more money to the farmers.
They cried
Plantation farming **farming
yes terrace farming is still used today in fact it has improved a lot more!
Biotechnology has improved farming in modern agriculture by enabling the development of genetically modified crops that are more resistant to pests and diseases. These crops also have improved yields and nutritional content, helping to feed a growing global population. Additionally, biotechnology has led to the development of sustainable agricultural practices that reduce the environmental impact of farming.
