How do we plow today? In many countries, particularly in Africa, Asia, and South America, people still have small fields and simple farming methods Small farms run by families to raise their own food are called “subsistence farms” In these types of places they often still plow their fields with animals They might even use wooden plows

How do we plow today? In countries with better farming technology farmers plow with machines Farms in these countries are often VERY large These farms are not owned by families, they are owned by companies The crops are not grown for eating, but for selling This is also called “agro-business”
