Agriculture

Agricultural machinery relates to the mechanical structures and devices used in farming and other agriculture. There are many types of such equipment, from hand tools and power tools to tractors and the countless kinds of farm implements that they tow or operate.

Tractors
Tractors do the majority of work on a modern farm. They are used to push and pull machines that till the ground, plant seed, and perform other tasks. Tillage equipment prepare the soil for planting by loosening the soil and killing weeds.

Combines
Combine is a machine designed to harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining four separate harvesting operations: reaping, threshing, gathering, and winnowing into a single process. The crops harvested with a combine are wheat, rice, oats, rye, barley, corn, sorghum, soybeans, flaxseed, sunflowers and rapeseed.

Planters
The most common type of seeder is called a planter, and spaces seeds out equally in long rows. Which are usually two to three feet apart. Some crops are planted by drills, which put out much more seed in rows less than a foot apart blanketing the field with crops

Sprayers:
After planting, other agricultural machinery such as self-propelled sprayers can be used to apply fertilizer and pesticides. Agriculture sprayer application is a method to protect crops from weeds by using herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. Spraying or planting a cover crop are ways to mix weed growth.
