development of agricultural machinery made it possible for fewer people to do the same 14 of work.

Instead of using only animal fertilizer, farmers began to use chemical fertilizers to keep the soil
rich. These methods have enabled French farmers, for example, to get five times as much wheat as was 17 from the same land two centuries ago.

Then they sell all that they produce, instead of trying to grow a little of everything and consume what they grow. This is a more feasible type of 19 because modern methods and machinery are adapted to specific animals and specific crops. Therefore, it would be too expensive to do all the work by hand, or to buy the 20 needed for several different kinds of farming.
