The Mechanical Reaper PowerPoint
Transcript: Why You Should Invest Picture this: a single farmer struggling to harvest wheat by hand. It’s backbreaking work, taking countless hours and labor. Now imagine replacing that effort with a machine that can do the job in a fraction of the time. Why wouldn't you want to invest in the future of America? Cost We allow term payments, so even though the reaper costs $125 you could place a deposit of $35, plus freight, with the total balance due after the next harvest was paid. This allows you to profit greatly from the invention while putting little strain on your economic situation. What Is It? The mechanical reaper was invented by our business partner Cyrus McCormick in 1831. It made it possible for farmers to harvest grain faster than could ever be done by hand. It did this through spinning blades to cut the stalks of the grain. Comparison The Mechanical Reaper With a mechanical reaper, one man with a horse could harvest large fields in a day. It was thus possible to have much larger farms, with hundreds or even thousands of acres. Invented by: Clark, Uday, Louis How Does This Benfit America The mechanical reaper is a game-changer. It allows farmers to harvest a significantly greater amount of wheat. This means it will lead to lower food prices and an abundance of crops that can support a growing population. This brings more wealth to farmers and the chance to expand into new markets—both domestically and internationally.
