What Is a Disc Plough?

A disc plough uses large concave steel discs that rotate as the tractor pulls the implement through the soil. Unlike mouldboard ploughs, the rotating discs can cut through hard ground, sticky clay, roots, and crop residue with less clogging.

This makes disc ploughs particularly effective in Kenya's diverse farming conditions.
