Preparing the soil for sowing is an important step in farming. Plowing and tilling are two of the most common methods used to prepare the soil for sowing. Plowing is the process of turning over the soil with a PLOW, which is a tool used to break up the soil and create furrows. Tilling is the process of breaking up the soil with a tiller, which is a tool used to loosen the soil and create a more even surface. Both plowing and tilling are necessary for preparing the soil for sowing.
