18th century, oxen and horses were for energy, bad-smelling wooden plows, all farming handily, planting by shovel, straw and grain cutting with sickle, and with flail (NIFA,2014). Many people think technology is only the internet. However, technology is not only the internet. When we ask our grandparents how they got their foods we will be surprised, because we will hear something totally different compare to how they get their foods now. Since technology has changed many things in agriculture from the past. There almost over seven billion people in the world in farming and that number might grow to nine billion people by the year 2050 (Simmons,2011). Two centuries ago most people were farmers, now only few people are farmers and all of the …show more content…
How has technology changed the ways of farming? After planters finish sowing, other technology machines could be used to take weeds off from between rows or spread fertilizer and pesticides, the boxes where farmers put straw have to be close carefully can be used to package grass into a place can keep the package grass save in the winter month. There is another thing which is modern irrigation deboned on big number of machinery (Dee R, 2014). A different group of pumps and other machines that relate to the modern irrigation are used to provide water faster in volume to huge areas of ground. Same kind of machines might be used to done fertilizer and pesticides. Some of the transportations have been in good condition for work in many ways of farming including trucks, airplane, and helicopters for the live of animals and creating machines mobile to spraying on the farms. Technology is changing the method that people worked, and how people used to use the machines by create a new way to let machines work by themselves using GPS to know where its location in the farm. Also, by what technology has made on the machines of programs allow machines be more precise and less wasteful. The machines and equipment that has made by technology can use at whatever in the agriculture with strong results not as the normal results (Dee R, 2014). America’s air quality is one of the good results from that clean diesel technology which make a comfortable condition on farming from the bad air that comes from highway trucks, and cars including the the construction and forestry sectors along with agriculture (DTF,2015). Machines were made by technology have given a lot of easier way to implement and make a strong quality of the earth to implement on. Also, it helps the farmers to have less work in farming. So, it takes all of the farmers have to just control the
