What do farmers have?

Farmers have plows, rakes, shoulder poles, shovels, hoes and trolleys.

1. Plow: Plow is a common traditional farming tool in China. In the Spring and Autumn Period, people used oxen to pull and plow fields, which were usually carved from hard wood. The hook in front of the plow is used to connect the cattle, the metal below is used to plow the field, and the back is used to control the direction. Ploughs include large plows and small plows. People generally use large plows to dry soil and small plows to plow mud.

2. Rake: It is a common traditional agricultural tool in China, which is used to break and level the soil. When facing the uneven land that cattle can't reach, you can level the land with a rake or arrange crops. A rake consists of a rake body, a handle head and a handle. Handles are generally made of wood, mostly rectangular double rows.

3. Pole: It is a common traditional agricultural tool used to pick things in China. Poles are usually made of bamboo and have a straight shape. The two sides of individual poles are slightly upturned, and the overall shape is like a crescent moon, which is more labor-saving than a straight pole. However, the use of crescent pole requires higher skills, and it is easy to turn over if the skills are wrong.

4. Shovel: It is a traditional agricultural tool commonly used for ploughing and shoveling in China. Also known as shovel. Mainly produced in Luannan County, Hebei Province, China, the output can reach 80% of the country and 70% of the world. Its handle is mostly wood, its head is iron, and there are two kinds of sharp shovel and square shovel.

5. Hoe: it is a common traditional agricultural tool in China, which can be divided into hoe, digging hoe, pickaxe and claw hoe, among which hoe can be used for loosening soil and digging hoe can be used for digging in hilly areas. Digging hoes have been used in China for thousands of years. They are necessary tools for people to engage in agricultural production activities, and can be used for excavation, afforestation and water conservancy.

6. Trolley: It is a short-distance transportation tool commonly used by farmers in China, also known as dirt cart, which consists of frame, handlebar and large and small wheels. When using, you should hold the handlebar of the car with both hands, and the balance of the car depends on people's control. Wheels of unicycles are generally made of wood, which is easy to wear and tear, and the labor intensity is relatively high when used.
