A plow is a big machine used for farming that breaks up and turns over soil so crops can grow.

When farmers need to prepare their land for planting, they use a plow. The plow has sharp blades that cut through the dirt and make it soft and easy to dig into. This helps seeds get the right amount of sunlight and water they need to grow strong. You might see a farmer using a plow in a field during spring or fall when crops are being planted or harvested.
