The term 'clod chopper' is a colloquialism used to describe a type of farm implement, usually a HOE or HOER. The HOE is a tool with a long handle and a flat blade that is used for breaking up soil and removing weeds. The HOER is a larger version of the HOE, with a longer handle and a wider blade, which is used for tilling and cultivating soil. Both tools are essential for preparing land for planting and maintaining crops.
