In olden days, there were no modernized technology. Farmers used bullocks to plough the fields. they used to do work with the help of labours,which took more time and more money. Due the man labour production was also less. They used to get less money because of less production. OLDEN TECHNOLOGY

Slide 5: 

Low levels of technology Less availability of transport Good seeds were not available. Slow methods of irrigation. Lack of capital. OLDEN TIME IN AGRICULTURE

Slide 6: 

High levels of technology. Use of HYV seeds Good irrigation facilities More and enough capital Availability of land Good storage facilities. MODERN TECHNOLOGY

Slide 7: 

Older days.. They had low level of technology. They had more fertile soil. In olden days facilities of transport & irrigation were not well. developed Modern days..
