Farming Equipment
Farming Equipment
🎯 Can you name the equipment in the images?
🎯 What are some other farming equipment that you know?
Farming equipment helps farmers in many important ways by making their work faster, easier, and more efficient.
Saves Time and Labour
Machines like tractors, harvesters, and seeders can do tasks much faster than manual labour, allowing farmers to cover large areas quickly.
Increases Productivity
With the help of machinery, farmers can grow and harvest more crops in less time, which boosts food production.
Reduces Physical Strain
Tools and machines reduce the need for heavy lifting and repetitive tasks, making farming safer and less tiring.
Supports Sustainability
Modern equipment can help reduce waste, conserve water, and use fewer chemicals, which is better for the environment.
Irrigation
Irrigation
Irrigation is the process of supplying water to crops or land to help plants grow, especially in areas where there isn’t enough natural rainfall.
Turn and Talk
🎯 Why do you think farmers use irrigation?
Farmers use irrigation to make sure their vegetables still get enough water to grow healthy and strong.
Greenhouses

Have a look at the images.
🎯 Can you tell me what a greenhouse is?
Use some descriptive language.
A greenhouse is a special building made mostly of glass or clear plastic
that helps plants grow by trapping heat and sunlight.
Turn and Talk
🎯 How do you think they help farmers?
Greenhouses help farmers by creating a controlled environment for growing plants.

Scarecrows
Scarecrows
Fun Facts!
Scarecrows were originally made to do exactly what their name suggests: scare off crows and other birds that might ruin the farmer’s crops.
Scarecrows have been around longer than you might think – the first scarecrows known to history were made about 3,000 years ago!
They were first made by the Egyptians to protect their wheat fields.
Birds are scared off also because of the smell of humans that linger from the clothes of a scarecrow.
