In all seriousness a 100 percent agricultural-themed show would never get made. Mc Cormick would appeal more to the main stream as he was the closest thing to a mogul in agricultural machinery manufacture during his life time. He also relates to the story of the American labor movement the show is trying to tell about with the Haymarket Riots in Chicago.
