Machines</p><p class="ql-block">Machines help farmers do a lot of their work.Tractors pull other heavy machines. Machines help to dig the soil. They help to plant seeds and harvest the crops.</p> <p class="ql-block">The tractor pulls a plough that digs to soil to break it up and make it ready for planting seeds.</p> <p class="ql-block">After ploughing, the seeds can then be planted by the farmer using the seed drill. The seed drill plants seeds in rows and covers them over with soil. It also adds fertiliser to the soil to feed the plants and help them grow.</p><p class="ql-block">The seed drill is pulled by the tractor too.</p> <p class="ql-block">After the seeds have grown, the crops have to be harvested. A machine called a combine harvester helps to do this. The harvester cuts the top off the plants and separates the grains of corn, wheat, sunflowers, oats from the plants. Then the machine loads the grain into a tractor trailer.</p> <p class="ql-block">3. how is cotton made into clothes?</p><p class="ql-block">From field to fabric</p><p class="ql-block">The steps to producing your cotton T-shirt</p><p class="ql-block">1.
