The roller is an agricultural tool used for flattening land or breaking up large clumps of dirt, especially after plowing. Typically, rollers are pulled by tractors or a team of animals such as horses or oxen. The flatter land makes subsequent weed control and harvesting easier and can help to reduce moisture loss from cultivated soil.
