Abstract: The prices of farm implements and machinery for 1860, 1880, 1890, 1895, and 1900 on about July 1 for each of these years were obtained from manufacturers and the figures are here presented in tables. The magnitude of the industry of manufacturing agricultural implements and some of the economic results of machinery produced in the cultivation and harvesting of corn and wheat and the making of hay are pointed out. The change in price of different implements and machines is briefly discussed.
