Plowing is the agricultural process of turning over soil to prepare it for planting crops. This is typically done using a tool called a plow, which can be pulled by animals or tractors. The main goal of plowing is to aerate the soil, mix in organic matter, and eliminate weeds, making it easier for seeds to germinate and grow. There are different types of plowing techniques, such as moldboard plowing and no-till plowing. Moldboard plowing involves turning the soil over completely, while no-till plowing minimizes soil disturbance. Both methods aim to improve soil health and increase crop yields, contributing to successful farming practices.
