"According to Robert Temple in his book, The Genius of China, a history of Chinese science and technology published in 1998, the Chinese invented the moldboard plow by the third century B.C. Made of cast iron, the plowshare was shaped like a V, with the blade carving into the ground and the two arms arcing away like gull wings. Because the arms were curved, they turned the earth away from the blade, which both reduced friction and more effectively plowed the soil. (The "moldboard" is the curved plowshare; the name comes from mold, the Old German word for soil.)

The moldboard plow was invented so that when the field was plowed, the soil would flip over so that the rich soil underneath was showing. This helped farmers plant more efficient crops and as a result there was a major population growth. They literally took a plow and put a board on the side, and it worked!
What is mouldboard plow?
A Moldboard Plow is a plow in a v-shape that is used to till under the soil. The spike of the V digs into the earth and the sides curl it under, so basically it takes the soil on top and moves it underneath. Moldboard are good to eliminate weeds but bad when it comes to erosion. Much of the destruction attributed to the Dust Bowl happened because farmers used moldboard plows time and time again and left the earth fallow during non- growing seasons.
