Organic farmers have a variety of tools at their disposal, at any given time. While some are used more frequently than others, the equipment used on an organic farm can be the difference between a successful yield and a lackluster season.
These are the most common tools used by organic farmers.
- Cultivators
- Camera Guidance Systems
- Tine Weeders
- Rotary Hoes
- Flame Weeders
- Weed Zappers
- Air Seeders
- Chisel Plow
- Moldboard Plow
- Planters
Of course, not every piece of equipment is necessary for organic farming. The majority of equipment used on organic ground is actually equipment designed specifically for invasive weed control. Since organic farmers do not have the ability to use herbicides, they turn to solutions that involve the use of equipment to remove weeds.
