Farm Equipment to Make Farming More Easy and Efficient

From decades traditional methods are being used to perform agricultural activities. In a country like India where the majority of the population is depended on farming for a livelihood, a significant amount of energy is spent doing all agricultural practices. However, the production is no that great in numbers and it is necessary to improve it to use advanced methods in the agriculture sector.

Soil testing, perfect irrigation system, weather forecasting, data science can provide a good future to this industry. Additionally, modern agricultural machinery and equipment can effectively lead to good crop yield and increased profits for the farmers. A variety of implements are used in modern agriculture from the most basic implements like a sickle, spade, pickage, desi plough, patella and to other modern farm implements like mould-board plough, harrows, rotavator, cultivators, seed drill, combine harvester etc.

These various types of farm implements are designed to suit different operations in farming, few of them explained here.

Mould-Board Plough

Designed to work in all types of soil it breaks, mix and turn the soil. The part in a mould-board plough that breaks the soil is known as bottom or base and includes share, the landside, and the moldboard. The share works as the cutting edge of the moldboard plough.

Seed Drills:

Seed drills are used for placing seeds on the ground with the least disturbance in the soil and are often used for grain crops or grasses or forage.

Combine Harvester:

The modern combine harvester is versatile machinery that makes it easy for a farmer to harvest a variety of crops. A combine is able to perform all the operations of harvesting like reaping, threshing and winnowing into a single operation.

Cultivator

The key purpose of using a cultivator is to remove the weeds from cultivation. Cultivator aerates the soil in set patterns before seed planting in the soil, and it removes the weed after the crop has grown.

Rotary Tiller:

Rotary tiller also is known as the rotavator, rotary plough or rotary hoe is used to cut the soil deep through the rotating blades.

Balers:

This farm machinery is used to compress a cut and raked crop into compressed bales that are easy to handle, transport or store.

Modern farm machinery can help a farmer to meet the demands of the increasing population. For the growth of the economy of our country agriculture needs to prosper. And it will prosper only when we use advanced farming methods and equipment.
