plough

Shields bearing agricultural implements such as the harrow and the plough are said to indicate someone, such as a farmer, who labors in the earth and depends on providence to provide the rest. In heraldry these devices are recognized to be the tools that the foundations of society rest upon, and therefore are intended to denote the nobility of the work that the bearer is or was employed in.
