2) Modern methods of farming , for example the manure is airdropped into the agricultural fields.
3) Irrigation systems, canals, ponds,etc are built for irrigation .

Agricultural Practises in India and in USA :-
- ♣ A Farm in India ♣ -
The main features of farm in India are as follows :-
--> Generally, the size of the farm is very small, about 1.5 hectares. This is due to repeated division of land amoung heirs of cultivators, for many generations.
--> Farmers do not have their own transport or storage facilities, so they sell their produce in the local markets at low prices.
--> Farmers also keep animals like cows, goats, buffaloes and hens, which provide them with milk and eggs.
--> The use of machines is very limited, either they take the tractors on rent or use traditional methods of farming.
--> All family members help in various agricultural activities.
--> The land is intensively cultivated . Double cropping and multiple cropping are common. Farmers usually grow wheat or rice or pulses.
--> The Farm produce is self-sustenance and there is very little surplus for sale in market.
- ♣ A Farm in USA ♣ -
The main features of a farm in the USA are as follows :-
--> The average size of a farm in USA is much larger than that of an Indian farm – about 250 to 500 hectares.
--> Farms are highly mechanised, most of the work is done by machines, Tractors, seed drills, levellers, combine harvesters and threshers perform various agricultural operations.
--> Animals are reared on diary farms. Mixed farming is common. Fodder crops are grown to feed the animals.
--> Crops are grown after making sure that soil and water resources meet the needs of the crops. Measures are taken to control pests, that can damage the crops. From time to time, soil samples are sent for soil testing to check whether the nutrients are sufficient or not. Everything is highly scientific. The computers are linked to the Satellites, which gives a precise picture of the field and weather conditions for improvement in farming.
--> Extensive type of farming is practised. The yield per acre is low but the yield per worker is high. Total production is very high.
