using a harrow to break up clumps of earth and destroy weeds

Answer 1

Using a harrow to break up clumps of earth and destroy weeds.

Dryland farming relies on moisture-conserving practices (not irrigation), such as tillage to control weeds and improve soil structure, and choosing drought-tolerant methods — whereas irrigating from aquifers or rivers is not dryland farming.
