Historical information

Ploughing is a major part of soil conservation, and until 1945, it was mainly done with the aid of horses.

The plough cuts into the soil with a coulter, and is followed by the share. The latter digs deeper and pushes up the soil which is then turned over by the mould board. This buries weeds, and exposes the soil to the elements whilst creating a furrow.
