Inventions from the industrial revolution and agriculture?

i was searching for inventions from the industrial revolution and agriculture era but it seems i can't find much. please list some.


untill now i got the cotton gin, steam engine, mill, and lathe.



How about Steam tractors, grain binders, hay baler, plows, and automobiles and trucks that replaced wagons, etc.




Your wrong on the lathe, lathe came about before the roman period, I know, I was surprised too.





Planters, harrows, hay rakes, thrashers, just about everything we have now came about or was started during the industrial revolution. The land plane was the first road grader, but its original use was leveling fields for irrigation. Except for combines we haven't really made much progress except to ad fancier doodads on to things. In fact, you could take anyone from any period of time up to about the last 150 years and they would have understood everything in our lives and we in theirs.




The worst invention was nitrogen fertilizer.





It allowed more food production . This resulted in people breeding like rats and major damage to the ecosystem
