Summary of passage

People in the past had to grow their own food to survive, leading to the beginning of agriculture. Wheat was one of the first crops grown, along with corn, rice, and vegetables. Farmers learned to rotate crops to keep soil healthy and fertile. Ancient civilizations used innovative techniques like Nile River flooding and irrigation systems for farming success. In the 1700s, the seed drill was invented, followed by tractors in the 1800s, making farming more efficient. Today, farmers use technology like GPS and drones for precise crop planting and monitoring. Genetically modified seeds are used for pest and disease resistance in crops. Agriculture is a crucial industry with a rich history, providing essential food for survival. Agriculture has evolved significantly from its early origins, ensuring food production for growing populations.
