Plough
A
plough (
UK) or
plow (
US; both ) is a
tool (or
machine) used in farming for initial
cultivation of
soil in preparation for
sowing seed or planting to loosen or turn the soil. Ploughs are traditionally drawn by
working animals such as horses or cattle, but in modern times may be drawn by
tractors. A plough may be made of wood, iron, or steel frame with an attached blade or stick used to cut the earth. It has been a basic instrument for most of
recorded history, although written references to the plough do not appear in English until 1100 CE at which point it is referenced frequently. The plough represents one of the major advances in
agriculture.
