Farming is one of the oldest activities people use to create food and building materials for themselves.

This activity changes constantly, because new technologies improve and evolve constantly, making everything safe and effective.

Here are a few things that changed farming in the last ten years.

Smart Machines on the Farm

Farmers now use smart machines and tractors that can do tasks on their own. 

It's like having robots help with planting and harvesting, making the work faster and more efficient.

Drones in the Sky

Imagine tiny flying robots called drones watching over the fields. Farmers use these to check on crops from the sky. 

It's like having superhero eyes to spot any problems early on.

Special Seeds for Better Crops

Farmers now plant special seeds that are supercharged. These seeds can resist pests and diseases, ensuring healthier crops. 

It's like giving plants their own superhero shields.

Data Magic with Farming Apps

Farming apps have become a thing. Farmers use them to gather data about weather, soil, and crops. 

It's like having a digital helper that provides all the information needed for smart decisions.

Precision Farming Know-How

Precision farming is like using a GPS for crops. Farmers can be super precise about where to plant, water, and fertilize. 

It's like playing a strategic game to get the best results.

Online Markets for Farmers

Farmers now have online markets. It's like having a virtual farmers' market where they can sell their produce directly to people. 

This helps farmers connect with consumers more easily.

Climate-Smart Farming

Farming is adapting to changes in the weather. Farmers are like weather wizards, adjusting their methods to cope with climate shifts. 

It's about being smart and flexible to keep the crops growing well.
