Summary

Like many farmers in the 1800s, young Cyrus McCormick labored long hours harvesting wheat by hand. He also watched his father tinker with a wheat-cutting machine called a reaper. This invention could help farmers harvest faster and more efficiently. Cyrus believed it could also make his family rich. He built a successful company using pioneering business methods. He educated farmers about using the reaper and made it affordable. Cyrus's smart ideas and great persistence helped American farmers enter the modern age of machines and become some of the most efficient growers in the world. Book jacket.
