Farm tools are two independent words joined together, Farm & Tools.
Farm is an area of land, together with a house and buildings, used for growing
crops and/or keeping animals as a business or home use. Tools on the other hand, are
a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular
function.
Farm tools are equipment that is used in the processes of land preparation.
These are mainly tools for trimming trees, weeds and shrubs, cultivators, rakes and
various hacksaws. So, it is important to know the right tools to be used in a particular

tool available as well as many combination tools that can perform a number of
functions. That’s why using the appropriate tools for a given job is a big help to finish the

the organisms that work through it and conserving soil moisture. This in turn promotes
the development of young roots.
Example is a hand trowel.

used for digging and loosening soil, while others are used for cultivation like hand fork
and hand cultivator, rake is used for cleaning and leveling the soil, grab hoe is used for
