plow

A plow is a farming tool used to prepare soil for planting crops. It turns over the top layer of soil, breaking it up and mixing in nutrients. Traditionally, plows were pulled by animals like oxen or horses, but modern versions are often attached to tractors. Using a plow helps aerate the soil, control weeds, and improve drainage, making it easier for plants to grow. Plowing is a crucial step in agriculture, as it sets the foundation for healthy crop production.
