Question

How have we improved the plow??

Answer 1

How has the plow evolved?

The plow with iron share was widely used in Europe about fifth century ad, and the Roman plow evolved into a soil-inverting plow during 8th to 10th century ad (Lerche, 1994). The major advance before 1000 ad was the development of the heavy plow, which was more than the simple plows farmers used earlier.

Answer 2

The invention of the heavy plough made it possible to harness areas with clay soil, and clay soil was more fertile than the lighter soil types. This led to prosperity and literally created a breeding ground for economic growth and cities – especially in Northern Europe.
