Importance of scientific agriculture

Developments in technology has helped in planting, harvesting and even selling of crops, livestock and animals. Preparing lands for farming must have been very hard in times past, but with technological advancements all these have been made easy.

These advancements have been very helpful to farmers. Many centuries ago, all farmers had were primitive tools. It is commonly said that "farming tools to a farmer, is like books to students." Now, farmers have improved tools, they even have access to tools which they do not have. There are even apps/websites were tractors and other expensive machineries
can be rented. This makes the work easier.

There have also been developments in the seeds and seedlings. With recent introduction to improved seeds and seedlings, it takes shorter time for crops to grow. In my cowpea farm, improved seedlings were used, so I didn't have to wait till dry season for planting. I planted while it was still raining, this would enable me harvest on time.

With the help of technology, middle men can now be excluded in Agriculture. Mobile Apps and websites have been made specifically for farmers to sell their products without having to deal with middlemen. This helps to increase profit the farmer will make, and also reduce the cost the farm produces will be sold. So the market is now easily accessible.
