A 30-horse-drawn combined harvester and thresher in use near Moro, Oregon, ca. 1903. As machines grew larger, they required more horsepower to operate them. A further technological advance enabled a single machine to combine two or more steps of the harvesting process. With machinery like this, farms of thousands of acres known as "bonanza farms," employing hundreds of workers, transformed commercial farming into an agricultural industry. One such farmer produced 600,000 bushels of wheat in 1881. Farmers like him were just as much capitalists as J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, using other peoples' money to invest in land and machinery and mass-produce a needed product.

In the 1870's pioneers faced a fierce attack of grasshoppers. The insects covered every inch of ground and ate all the vegetation within their path. On a Sunday in May 1876, Father Boucher appealed to a higher source for relief from the grasshoppers for his parishioners. The priest led his congregation on an all-day, eleven mile pilgrimage, placing three crosses in different locations. Though the grasshopper came again in later years, the area within the crosses was never touched. This cross is adjacent to St. Peter's Catholic Church in Jefferson, South Dakota. Another one of the crosses can be seen at the Morin farmstead 4 miles northwest of Jefferson on County Road 1B, and the third cross is on County Road 23 on the Dale Chicoine farm.
