A plowshare is the part of the plow that cuts through the soil.

Plowing is done to turn and aerate the soil, which helps control weeds, improve drainage, and create a better environment for seed germination.

Plowing is typically performed in the fall or spring.

Plowing is usually done at a depth of 20–30 cm.

A mouldboard plow is designed to turn the soil to one side, creating straight furrows that facilitate efficient soil cultivation.

A reversible plow is a type of plow equipped with both left- and right-turning moldboards. This allows the soil to be turned in both directions, eliminating the need for ridges and making plowing more efficient. Reversible plows are often used to create smooth and even fields, particularly beneficial for smaller and irregularly shaped farms.
