A Survey of Animal and Tractor Farming Techniques in Jigawa and Kano State, Nigeria

Technology as an economic activity aims at a random combination of the factors of production of land, labour and capital to achieve profit. The emphasis on technology born out of tradition rather than common sense has been the improvement and enthronements of the capital factor above all other factors of production. But technology is actually all encompassing including of course devising other ways through which the people can do the same things to achieve better results. Our concentration on improving the capital factor has led us into enthroning machines at the detriment of the labour or human factor leading to poor results.
