Agriculture is one of the oldest surviving professions. Since time immemorial, we humans have been producing crops for our consumption. Over a period, production has been increasing like never before owing to higher population rise. Technology came handy for several farmers. Several technologies were developed to overcome challenges involved in agriculture. Agricultural Equipment Design engineers deal with a lot of challenges while designing equipment. Here are some of them.
Stagnation in Production Agriculture is the most vulnerable of all to natural calamities. For example, let us say you have 100 acres of rice field. You cultivated everything and all of sudden there is a cyclone hitting your town. All your crops and fields are destroyed. All your fortunes are shattered. Therefore your production stagnates. An engineer will have to think how to solve this issue with a pragmatic approach. Utilization Let us say, an engineer is designing a tractor. He or she will have an average area in which the farmer will be working upon. For example, one acre and your tractor will be designed to cover the whole area. You can take it beyond that but it cannot withstand till a limit. Efficiency The same case of utilization suits here. You build a tractor to farm almost one acre. How best you can scar the land to increase productivity matters here. Modern day farming is all about deriving more from less i.e. more crops out of small fields. Hence the engineer should keep this in mind while developing new farm equipment. Labour Intensive The biggest challenge involved in agriculture is labour availability. You have a very big land cover that reaching out to fields and plucking all the product soon becomes a very big deal. Hence you have to hire more people to collect all the produce. Your labour cost goes up and so does the produce.
