Farm Machinery and Technology

Farming was started way back in Pre-dynastic period and has improvised in many ways to reach present day feeding of ever increasing population. One such improvisation is of equipment used for various agricultural activities. The present advance technology for high production of quality yield was once started with a wooden plough. Today every step in agriculture cycle i.e., from land preparation to harvesting at field level and post harvests processing starts and ends with machinery. So, we at Plough IT aims to take every machinery and technology involved in agriculture to every single farm in order to bring down the drudgery of the farmer and to take up every operation on time.
