Old Agriculture Tradition in Bangladesh

Once upon a time the only dependence of the farmers in cultivating the land was plowing with cows. However, day by day, like many other parts of the world Bangladesh people's plowing with cows on the way to extinction.

In the past period in many houses, plowing equipment including multiple pairs of plows, yoke and hoe was used for cultivating their land. The more plowing equipment he had in his house, the more he was known throughout the area. Due to this, the barn and the living room could be decorated in that house. Now with the touch of modernity, that living room is no more like before. No recent cows, plows, yokes. Everything is going to be extinct now.

People are now accustomed to cultivate their land with power tillers instead of cows. It saves their time and money and free them from hassles.
