Agriculturalist is a person trained in applying the principles of science to farming.
Mechanization is the introduction of machines for agricultural working purposes. It is a unit responsible for lifting and lowering an agricultural implement.
Mechanisation has been an important factor in the contraction of the agricultural labour force. Mechanisation has not only involved increases in the number and range of machines, but also dramatic increases in their size and power. This has enabled slopes previously regarded as too steep for ploughing to be cultivated. The increased size of tractors and combines has encouraged enlargement of fields and the removal of hedgerows. This has caused alarm amongst conservationists and led to increased erosion in wet weather in some areas.
