The revolution of machinery in modern agriculture

In agriculture-dominated Bangladesh, the touch of modern technology has brought a great change in the traditional way of farming and harvesting. Once, farmers used to harvest rice by hand with a sickle in the scorching sun. But in the current agricultural system, the arrival of sophisticated machinery like 'combine harvester' has brought relief and unimaginable speed to the lives of farmers. A dynamic modern combine harvester (Zoomlion FH100 Speedster) is harvesting rice quickly in a vast rice field. This integrated machine simultaneously performs complex tasks like harvesting rice, threshing, winnowing and separating the chaff from the rice.

Where it would have taken multiple workers a whole day to harvest a bigha of paddy in the traditional method, this machine completes it in just 20-30 minutes. It is possible to harvest the ripe paddy in the field very quickly before the Kalbaisakhi storm or sudden rain, which reduces crop wastage to a great extent. During the crisis of agricultural labor, the farmer can harvest his hard-earned crop at a low cost and in a short time. The presence of this modern machine in the rural green nature and muddy fields proves that traditional agriculture is now rapidly moving towards technology dependence. This not only reduces the hard work of the farmer, but also makes the country's food security more consolidated.
