I went for a walk with my family near where I stay and I noticed this piece of farming equipment that will make symmetrical lines. Farmers use ploughs like this to create furrows in the soil to grow crops. The farmer near me has planted several fields with potato seeds and will have used this plough to make the symmetrical lines in each field. By using this plough to make the furrows it means that his crops should all be given the same conditions to grow in, and make it easier when it is time to harvest them all as the lines of crops will all be set at the same width/height.
