The 22-year-old farmer's son Cyrus McCormick, who worked in his father's agricultural machinery workshop in the US state of Virginia, wanted to make the laborious work more efficient. That's why he and his brother Leander James developed a horse-drawn mower by 1831. The cutting device was attached to the side so that the animals didn't trample on the grain..."
