They usually have small plots of land and use simple tools like wooden ploughs. Family members do most of the work, and they rely heavily on rainfall for water.<\/p>\n<p>Because it is one of the oldest types of <a href=\"https:\/\/tractorguru.in\/blog\/top-10-smart-ways-to-save-crops-this-monsoon-season-in-india\/\"><strong>farming in agriculture<\/strong><\/a>, it is still common in many rural parts of the country.

This method is mostly used in places with limited land and high population. It helps in growing more food quickly to meet the needs of local markets.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, extensive farming is done on large areas of land with fewer inputs. Farmers rely more on natural rainfall and use fewer workers and machines. It is common in less populated areas where land is easily available.
