The Importance of Mechanized Farming

The Importance of Mechanized Farming
2

• Mechanization does not imply the use of machines,
  whether mobile or stationary, small or large in
  size that are driven and used for primary and
  secondary tillage operations such as harvesting
  and thrashing.
• Power lifts for irrigation, trucks for farm
  produce haulage, grinding machines, dairy
  equipment for milk splitting, butter producing,
  oil pressing, cotton ginning, rice hulling, and
  also used in various electrical home appliances
  like radios, irons, washing machines, vacuum
  cleaners, and more are all examples of machines.

• Adopting modern mechanisation and farming
  techniques involves putting machine power to work
  on the farm, which is normally handled by
  bullocks, horses, and other drought animals in
  addition to human labour.
• These mechanizations can be applied in two ways
  some of the job can be performed by animals and
  human effort, and the other can be done by
  machines, which is known as partial
  mechanisation.
• Total mechanisation happens when animals and
  humans are completely replaced by machines.

• Agriculture mechanization can be divided into two
  categories mobile mechanization and stationary
  mechanization.
• The former seeks to replace animal power, which
  has been the cornerstone of agriculture for
  hundreds of years while the latter intends to
  reduce the drudgery of particular tasks that must
  be carried out either by human labour or by a
  coordinative effort of humans and animals.

Benefits of Mechanization in Agriculture

• Agricultural Technologies are changed the result.
• Improvements have been made in the areas of
  drainage, land reclamation, and soil erosion
  prevention.
• In recent years, irrigation of crops has been
  possible in India using a scientific method that
  is not dependent on the monsoon.
• We can get more land and thus expand the
  cultivated area by smoothing hillocks, filling in
  depressions and gullies, and clearing deep-rooted
  weeds with tractor-mounted cultivators.

• It also helps to keep soil from weakening. In
  addition to mechanical fertilisation, contour
  bunding and terracing are achieved with
  self-driven graders and terraces using mechanical
  methods

7
In rural areas, it alters the social structure.

• Agriculture mechanisation shifts the social
  structure of rural areas while also saving time
  and effort for farmers.

8
Farm Labour Shortage Reduction

• In the Modern Scenario, people with good
  credentials are more likely to move from rural to
  urban areas in search of work, resulting in a
  labour shortage.
• Agriculture machines such as inter cultivators
  and power tillers may help farmers reduce their
  reliance on labour and improve their quality of
  life.

It leads to proper land usage.

• Mechanization often results in efficient use of
  agricultural land because the use of a fuel
  tractor instead of animal power decreases
  interest.
• The use of machine power in this manner results
  in high agricultural productivity, which is
  exchanged for a trade economy and a land use
  arrangement in which the cultivator operates on a
  different and significantly more complicated
  basis than that found in the surrounding
  independent economy.

It decreases the amount of fodder and increases
the amount of food.

• Using mechanical power in agriculture reduces
  animal power, eliminating the need for animal
  raring and allowing fodder land to be used to
  grow crops for human consumption.
• Under mechanised agriculture, the remaining
  livestock, such as cattle, would be better cared
  for and fed, as new and nourishing varieties of
  feeding material could be grown in cultural
  wastelands after they were reclaimed for
  cultivation.

Best Farm Income Return

• With mechanisation in operation, farm profits can
  be multiplied, which helps to improve the
  farmer's financial situation.
• It reflects an exponential growth in national
  income and, with it, a new way of life it brings
  together urban societies, increases businesses
  and other social organisations and it turns free
  economic agglomerates into social economies that
  are intricately woven by a thousand lines of
  association.

• In India, agricultural mechanization has brought
  a new revolution.
• The majority of Indians are still dependent upon
  agriculture in its traditional way.

  Supplier of advanced agricultural machines for
  small and marginal farmers.
