A moldboard plough is a type of agricultural implement used for turning over soil in preparation for planting crops. It consists of a curved blade, or moldboard, that lifts and flips the soil, burying weeds and crop residues while aerating the earth. This plough is typically drawn by tractors or animals and is essential for creating furrows, improving soil structure, and enhancing drainage. Its design has evolved over time, making it more efficient and effective for modern farming practices.

What is a breaking plough?
A breaking plough, also known as a moldboard plough, is a type of agricultural implement designed for turning over soil, particularly in uncultivated or hard ground. It features a curved blade that cuts into the soil, flipping it to create furrows and prepare the land for planting. This plough is essential for breaking up compacted soil and incorporating organic matter, ultimately improving soil structure and fertility. It is commonly used in the initial stages of land preparation.

What type of moldboard is made of cast iron that has a central ridge ending in a sharp point that cut the soil and wings that pushed the soil off It was said to have begun the agricultural revoluntion?
The moldboard you are referring to is the ard plough, which is widely credited with kickstarting the agricultural revolution. It was made of cast iron and featured a central ridge with a sharp point to cut the soil and wings to push the soil off to the sides.

The Anglo-Saxons are credited with inventing important tools and technologies such as the moldboard plough, the horizontal loom for weaving, and the stirrup for horse riding. They also developed their own unique artistic styles in metalwork, jewelry, and manuscript illumination.
How does a plough work?
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.
