- Fanning Mill, circa 1830 - Fanning mills, one of the earliest farm machines, mechanized the winnowing process which separates the grain from the lighter chaff and straw with a breeze created by the wind or flapping a bedsheet. A hand-cranked fan blows the grain and chaff across vibrating screens. The heavier grain kernels fall through the screens, and the chaff and straw is blown out.

- Self-Propelled Cotton Picker, 1950 - This is the first commercially successful self-propelled cotton picker. The inventor, John Rust, worked for decades to develop a machine that would end the back-breaking labor of picking cotton that he experienced in his youth. The machine reduced the labor required to pick cotton by 80%, contributing to the Great Migration from the rural south to northern cities in the 1950s.
