During the Agricultural Age period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of these inventions during this time were Tractors, Fertilizer, and the Combine Harvester. These inventions are still widely used today.

An important invention seen during the Agricultural Period was the Tractor. The Tractor is an engineering vehicle that was specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery such as that used in agriculture or construction. This helped because it made it easy to transport things around a farm and more. Tractors are still used today to transport things around a farm. The first Tractor was invented in 1892. This is why this was an important invention.

Another important invention in this time period was the Combine Harvester. The Combine Harvester is a versatile machine designed to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations reaping, threshing, and winnowing into a single process. Combine harvesters are still used to this day to harvest crops. The first-ever Combine Harvester was invented in 1835. This is why this was an important invention.

The final important invention in the Agricultural time period was Fertilizer. Fertilizer, a natural or artificial substance containing the chemical elements that improve the growth and productiveness of plants. Fertilizers enhance the natural fertility of the soil or replace the chemical elements taken from the soil by previous crops. Fertilizer is still widely used today to help improve the growth of plants. Fertilizer was believed to be invented in 1903. This is why this was an important invention.

There were many significant technological advancements seen during the Agricultural era. Some of those discussed are the Tractor, Combine Harvester, and Fertilizer. These are all commonly seen today all around the world and are still very important.
