The Importance of Mechanized Farming /Agriculture To Our Modern Society.
The word farming is an act or the process of planting of seeds of any kind with the intention of harvesting them in the near future, farming is also an act of rearing of livestock, poultry, piggry, cattle rearing and other agricultural livestock.
However, in our modern society today a lot of individuals have gone into the farming business in order to curb the scarcity and make farm produce available and cheap for its consumers in their respective localities, But in order to maintain and keep the steady supply flow consistent a lot of underground work have been put into place to achieve these goal.
The word mechanized means to employ the use of machinery or vehicles in farming /agricultural work. Individuals, conglomerates, companies and even the governments of nations are investing heavily on this particular sector of the economy, knowing fully well that its returns will be much more than its investment money.
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF MECHANIZED FARMING TO OUR SOCIETY.
A lot have being achieved via the introduction of mechanized farming to the agricultural sector, using the past in comparing with the present i.e. today, every one can bear witness to the fact that mechanized farming have fast tracked the production , storage, harvesting, planting and processing of farm produce.
Before, seeds are lost through decay and other factors affecting them but the introduction of mechanized farming seeds and other farm produce can be stored in silos or reservoir and other storage facilities, in order to preserve and keep them for future use.
In our world today tractors that can perform duties on their own without being driven by anybody are now being put in use in farm land across the world to facilitate the cultivating and till the land for farming. Only few knows what would have happened if there where no mechanized equipments for farmers today, how many months would laborers take hoes, knifes and shovels to dig ridges for planting of seed in a farm land worth thousands of kilometers. Not to talk of the harvesting season or period.
USING A FARM PRODUCE LIKE RICE TO APPRECIATE THE SUCCESS OBTAINED THROUGH MECHANIZED FARMING.
The process of rice production in the past
*planting the seed.
*grows within its stimulated time .
*harvested manually.
- kept in an open place for a while and exposed to the heat of the sun to dry it.
*gather them together.
*start or begin bounding them with a huge stick by many people.
*after that separate the leaves from the grains. - cook the rice grains with the shell.
*take them to a local rice mill plant for deshelling of the rice grains.
*After that your rice is done locally.
THE MECHANIZED WAY OF PROCESSING RICE GRAIN EVEN WHILE PLANTING AND PROCESSING PERIOD.
*plant the seed with mechanized equipment .
*harvest them with mechanized equipment.
*take them to a rice mill mechanized plant to separate the leaves from the rice grain.
- cook the grains of rice.
*put them in a machine that dries.
*deshell the rice grains with machinery. - separate impurities like stones, sand , and chaff or dust with mechanized machine.
*polish the rice grain.
*package the rice with a machine .
