One of the most basic of agricultural operations, ploughing enriches and aerates the soil, producing a fertile seed bed ideal for the germination and growth of a new crop. The technology of ploughs has progressed from primitive tools to modern tractor-mounted multi-furrow reversible ploughs, but the process remains essentially the same. This book examines the development of ploughs and their motive power—such as oxen, horses, steam engines, and tractors—from earliest times and shows how ploughing has evolved as mankind's scientific understanding has increased.
