It allowed farmers on the prarie to cultivate crops and plants even though the prarie got very small amounts of rain annually.

Answer:

The mechanization of agriculture, that is, the replacement of human labor by animal labor first and later, has been a constant throughout history. This process has accelerated markedly since the nineteenth century (new machines), accentuated in the following with the motorization (tractorization) of agriculture. Mechanization has substantially reduced the time taken in agricultural work and the human effort devoted to them. Man has replaced work with capital and thus has significantly increased his productivity.
