Answer 1

the farmers firstly notice that is the soil ready for farming

Answer 2

The soil is prepared by the following methods :

1. Ploughing - process of loosening and turning the soil. Its also known as tilling.

2. Levelling - There is a strong possibility that strong winds or rain will wash away the topsoil. The soil then needs to be levelled again to ensure its strong foundation. This levelling of soil is done with an implement called the leveller, which is a heavy wooden or iron plank. Levelling of the field also helps in uniform distribution of water during irrigation. This is the final step of soil preparation.

3. Manuring- To increase the fertility of the soil, we add manure to the soil even before we begin sowing the seeds. We add the manure before we plough the field, so it gets properly incorporated into the soil.
