You all know that the early people were Hunter-gatherers. Farming began around 8,000 years ago, When people settled they started to grow crops.
The first step in farming is Turning the soil so Ancient Egyptians used Wooden Plows, they were pulled by oxen. Later the were made using Iron. Then Shaduf a invention which is 7,000 years old was first used in Ancient Egypt. It is a water-lifting lever, with a weight at one end and a bucket at the other.
The first seed drill was invented in the year 1701 by an English Farmer called Jethro Tull and he named the machine as a Drill.
Then in 1850s, German and English scientists made studies of plants and developed chemical fertilizers to add to the soil. Fertilizers improve crop growth and develop better yield.
