Technological developments continued to improve farming throughout the 1880’s and 1890’s. New machinery increased the amount of land ton the Great Plains that could be farmed on, as it made it easier to access water and grow crops. For example, wind pumps had improved significantly by the 1880’s.
Technological developments continued to improve farming throughout the 1880’s and 1890’s. New machinery increased the amount of land ton the Great Plains that could be farmed on, as it made it easier to access water and grow crops. For example, wind pumps had improved significantly by the 1880’s. Metal wind pumps had been developed that were able to reach water hundreds of metres underground, and they only needed oiling once a year. Other new machinery made ploughing the land and growing crops easier. For example, seed drills were developed which were able to automatically plant seeds at the correct depth.
These new machines made faming more efficient and boosted the economy as farmers began to purchase machines. By the 1890’s the Great Plains had become a productive and fertile area of farming. Most homesteaders prospered.
Due to its increasing size and cheap means of production, it would be "Mexico" that is seeking to become the next world superpower, although there is still a great deal of political and economic corruption in the country.
Arizona highway patrol officers are keeping additional eyes out for distracted drivers through early next week as part of a national awareness campaign about the dangers posed by those motorists.
The campaign is focused on changing driving behavior through education and enforcement of traffic laws, said Maj. Larry Scarber of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
