How does a farmer prepare soil for crops?
|
|
First, the farmer ploughs the land. The sharp ploughshares dig into the soil and turn it over. To break up the lumps of soil, the farmer pulls a sort of rake called a harrow, either with disks or with curved spikes, over the field. He may also crush the lumps with a heavy roller. At this stage, fertilisers are spread on the field to make the crops grow quickly. Then the field is ready for sowing.
