Modern agricultural machinery is used to improve various farming practices done by our farmers. From the use of hybrid seeds of selected variety of a single crop, to using technologically advanced farm equipment, farming ways have changed a lot in past decades for better. Energy subsidies in the form of irrigation water, fertilizers and pesticides are also part of the advanced methods of farming. Out the of hundreds of small and big equipment tractors, plough, harrow, balers, combine harvester, mowers, planters and sprayers etc are the most common types of equipment and agricultural machinery used on modern farms. Nowadays farming is no longer a small scale production, but is a large business which is done with huge machines over thousands of hectares by small to large group of people and many small and big firms. Lots of people’s livelihood across the world depends on this business. And the better the efficiency increasing population worldwide it is also essential for farmers to produce the food on larger scale, which will be next to impossible without the huge machinery like tractors and combines. We will discuss here the role of a combine harvester in farming. We can understand the role of a combine harvester in farming by going back when it didn’t even exist. Farmers used to grow grain crops in larger farm and when it got ready to harvest, suddenly the weather changed, and started raining heavily not allowing them to take enough time to get the grains out of standing crops. In such cases farmers used to all of their hard work in hours of time. Since the invention of a combine harvester, farmers can now harvest the largest of fields in hours of time in a single day. A combine harvester is also known as combine only due to its capability to manage all the harvesting steps from cutting to cleaning grains inside the machine itself. It not only saves the grains from getting wasted, but the grain quality also remains better than that of manually harvested grains. We can say that the machine is a boon for farming which not only increases the productivity bit also the efficiency of farmers in the harvesting season.
