@TheBrewer Gasp! Can I interest you in an intense discussion about how blacksmiths increasing nickle content by 0.02% and altering the angle by less than 3 degrees revolutionized the plow? Imagine the genius and daring it takes to not only alter the formula but to experiment with alternate angles to increase the depth of the digging without overloading the stress on the plow and work animal.

And if you link agriculture revolutions and technology, that is some of the more interesting stuff, especially for engineers. Plus rather less likely to maim fresh immigrants from europe who get paid a fish full of pennies to lose their arm in a newly designed combine when their rent and food costs is twice that.
