A mine plow plough in British English is a tank mounted device designed to clear a lane through a minefield, allowing other vehicles to follow. Buried land mine s are plowed up and pushed outside the tank s track path or tipped over. Since anti tank mines rely on a concentrated explosion to destroy a tank, they are useless when turned upside down as the tank runs over the mine, it will expend its blast down instead of upwards, causing insignificant damage, if any.

Synthesis article date October 2007 Rain follows the plow is the conventional name for a now discredited theory of climatology that was popular throughout the American West and Australia during the late 19th century. The phrase was employed as a summation of the theory by Charles Dana Wilber blockquote God speed the plow.... By this wonderful provision, which is only man s mastery over nature, the clouds are dispensing copious rains ... the plow is the instrument which separates civilization from savagery and converts a desert into a farm or garden.... To be more concise, Rain follows the plow . ref http www.pbs.org weta thewest program episodes seven rainfollows.htm Rain Follows the Plow , Episode Seven, The West , PBS ref blockquote The basic premise of the theory was that human habitation and agriculture through homesteading affected a permanent change in the climate of arid and semi arid regions, making these regions more humidity humid . The theory was widely promoted in the 1870s as a justification for the settlement of the Great Plains , a region previously known as the Great American Desert . It was also used to justify the expansion of wheat growing on marginal land in South Australia during the same period. According to the theory, increased human settlement in the region and cultivation of soil would result in an increased rainfall over time, rendering the land more fertile and lush as the population increased. As later historical records of rainfall indicated, the theory was based on faulty evidence arising from brief climatological fluctuations. The theory was later refuted by climatologists and is regarded as a serious error. In South Australia, George Goyder warned as early as 1865, in his Goyder s Line famous report on farming in the state, that rain would not follow the plow. Despite this, until further droughts in the 1880s, farmers talked of cultivating ...
