</u>
The invention that allowed to cut the crop right from close to the sod allowed the farmers to have more of the crop stem for the purpose of threshing.
The ease in threshing helped gain more yield from the crop.
The cutting done right through the sod not only cleared the land of the crop, but also allowed the farmers to use the land for other purposes for the rest of the year.
