One of the most basic of agricultural operations, ploughing enriches and aerates the soil, producing a fertile seed bed for the germination and growth of a new crop. This book examines the development of ploughs and their motive power - including oxen, horses, steam engines, and tractors - past to present, and shows how the development of the plough and ploughing have evolved as man's understanding of the scientific processes has progressed. It features countless black and white photos both modern and vintage, diagrams, and illustrations which complement the informative text. Anyone interested in ploughing and agriculture in general is sure to appreciate this great new book.
