Farming tools are essential implements used in agriculture to assist in soil preparation, planting, cultivation, irrigation, harvesting, and post-harvest handling. These tools range from simple hand tools to complex machinery, each serving specific purposes aimed at improving efficiency and productivity on the farm.
Traditional hand tools include the hoe, shovel, rake, and machete. The hoe is commonly used for digging, weeding, and shaping the soil, while shovels and spades are employed in moving soil, compost, or manure. Rakes help in leveling the soil and removing debris, and machetes are used for cutting through thick vegetation or harvesting crops like sugarcane.

Animal-drawn implements such as the plough have historically been used to turn and loosen the soil before planting. In modern farming, mechanized tools and machinery such as tractors, harrows, seed drills, planters, and harvesters have revolutionized agriculture by significantly reducing labor and time. Tractors can be fitted with various attachments for tilling, planting, and spraying. Irrigation tools like sprinklers, drip lines, and watering cans are essential for ensuring crops receive adequate water, especially in areas with irregular rainfall.
Additionally, tools for crop protection—such as knapsack sprayers—are used to apply pesticides or fertilizers. Storage tools like silos, granaries, and crates are important for safely keeping harvested produce.
