[edit] comments

Small joke found in compilations of student history reports. "The McCormick reaper did the work of 100 men." --Jmccorm 06:01, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

This article needs to be broadened if not reorganized because the information is all into paragraphs and is not sectioned off. - OttOO

[edit] McCormick

Is it mentioned about the castle-like structure he built in Pennsylvania. I know you might not believe this, but it's true. The house he built in 1810 in Marion Center, PA, is my current home.

[edit] labor to cities

"The invention of the reaper made farming far more efficient, and resulted in a global shift of labor from farmlands to cities."

This needs more explanation, it's probably at least partially true, but without some more background it verges on meriting a fact template. --babbage 16:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does it end here??

Say, are all the McCormicks dead??
