In many places farmers still rely on the help of cows or buffalo to plow fields. Perhaps for reasons that are far more cost-effective than plowing the fields using machines.

Sometimes traditional farmers are as good as machines. We forget this is how we farmed for thousands of years! Machines cost a lot of money and the fuel to run them

Yes, that's right, even though it takes extra energy, the way traditional farmers plow the fields using cows or buffalo is a free nature tour for the people there.

Here it is sad because agricultural lands are being converted i to industrial if not residential.

yes, now many farmers' rice fields are turned into factories, toll roads and so on.

It's all machines here now. Not sure in term of cost though. Nor that I ever see a farmer use a cow here either.

I do not know, maybe that is one way for farmers to use the power of their livestock. And it has been going on for a long time.
