A plough is an implement for creating furrows in a field. The simplest ploughs are no more than sticks pulled through the earth which create a shallow furrow and push the earth up on either side. More sophisticated ploughs use a ploughshare which cuts into the earth and then forces it to follow the curve of the ploughshare and moldboard so it turns to one side. The result is a deep trench with the earth piled on one side of it.
A horse-drawn plough usually pulled a plough with a single share or bottom. Teams of horses or mechanical tractors can pull a group of ploughshares (called a gang plough) which can create several furrows simultaneously.
One of the reasons for ploughing was to break up the soil and soften it. Another was to create a furrow into which seed could be sown. Modern farming practices do not make much use of the plough, using cultivators to break up the soil and seed drills to sow the crop.
