The Importance of Mechanized Farming

Mechanization does not imply the use of machines, whether mobile or stationary, small or large in size that are driven and used for primary and secondary tillage operations such as harvesting and thrashing. Power lifts for irrigation, trucks for farm produce haulage, grinding machines, dairy equipment for milk splitting, butter producing, oil pressing, cotton ginning, rice hulling, and also used in various electrical home appliances like radios, irons, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and more are all examples of machines.
Adopting modern mechanisation and farming techniques involves putting machine power to work on the farm, which is normally handled by bullocks, horses, and other drought animals in addition to human labour.
These mechanizations can be applied in two ways: some of the job can be performed by animals and human effort, and the other can be done by machines, which is known as partial mechanisation. Total mechanisation happens when animals and humans are completely replaced by machines.
Agriculture mechanization can be divided into two categories: mobile mechanization and stationary mechanization. The former seeks to replace animal power, which has been the cornerstone of agriculture for hundreds of years; while the latter intends to reduce the drudgery of particular tasks that must be carried out either by human labour or by a coordinative effort of humans and animals.

Benefits of Mechanization in Agriculture:

Agricultural Technologies are changed the result.
Improvements have been made in the areas of drainage, land reclamation, and soil erosion prevention. In recent years, irrigation of crops has been possible in India using a scientific method that is not dependent on the monsoon.
We can get more land and thus expand the cultivated area by smoothing hillocks, filling in depressions and gullies, and clearing deep-rooted weeds with tractor-mounted cultivators. It also helps to keep soil from weakening. In addition to mechanical fertilisation, contour bunding and terracing are achieved with self-driven graders and terraces using mechanical methods.

In rural areas, it alters the social structure.
Agriculture mechanisation shifts the social structure of rural areas while also saving time and effort for farmers.
Farm Labour Shortage Reduction
In the Modern Scenario, people with good credentials are more likely to move from rural to urban areas in search of work, resulting in a labour shortage. Agriculture machines such as inter cultivators and power tillers may help farmers reduce their reliance on labour and improve their quality of life.

It leads to proper land usage.
Mechanization often results in efficient use of agricultural land because the use of a fuel tractor instead of animal power decreases interest. The use of machine power in this manner results in high agricultural productivity, which is exchanged for a trade economy and a land use arrangement in which the cultivator operates on a different and significantly more complicated basis than that found in the surrounding independent economy.

It decreases the amount of fodder and increases the amount of food.
Using mechanical power in agriculture reduces animal power, eliminating the need for animal raring and allowing fodder land to be used to grow crops for human consumption. Under mechanised agriculture, the remaining livestock, such as cattle, would be better cared for and fed, as new and nourishing varieties of feeding material could be grown in cultural wastelands after they were reclaimed for cultivation.

Best Farm Income Return
With mechanisation in operation, farm profits can be multiplied, which helps to improve the farmer's financial situation. It reflects an exponential growth in national income and, with it, a new way of life; it brings together urban societies, increases businesses and other social organisations; and it turns free economic agglomerates into social economies that are intricately woven by a thousand lines of association.
In India, agricultural mechanization has brought a new revolution. The majority of Indians are still dependent upon agriculture in its traditional way.
