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.

A yeomen was a white man that owned a small farm.
In the late 1800s, many farm workers lost their jobs due to the rise of mechanization in agriculture, which reduced the need for manual labor. Additionally, economic challenges such as droughts and falling crop prices forced many farmers to abandon their land. As a result, these displaced workers migrated to urban areas in search of employment opportunities in factories and industries that were booming during the Industrial Revolution. This shift contributed to rapid urbanization in many countries.

Farm mechanization can be classified into three main categories: primary, secondary, and tertiary mechanization. Primary mechanization involves the use of machinery for initial land preparation and planting, such as plows and seeders. Secondary mechanization includes operations like cultivation, irrigation, and pest control, utilizing equipment such as harrows and sprayers. Tertiary mechanization focuses on post-harvest activities, including harvesting, processing, and transportation, employing machinery like combines and threshers.
Limitations of agricultural mechanization in Nigeria are as follows: 1. Economic limitation 2. Technical limitation 3. Small farm holding 4. Lack of maintenance.
Inflation can be controlled through agricultural or farm mechanization by making use of added value products. Yearly human wages tend to rise through time, but well negotiated interest rates for financing mechanization do not. See the related link below for more helpful information.

The proportion of human labor used in the production of farm goods dropped by measurable degrees as a result of farming advances
Similarities between farm labor in the 1930s and today include the physical demands of the work and the importance of agricultural practices. Differences include advances in technology and mechanization, which have increased efficiency and productivity in modern farming. Additionally, there have been improvements in labor rights and regulations to protect workers in today's agricultural industry.
