It is varying lengths (e.g. 1.8m, 2.4m or 3.0m) and generally circular in section though some octagonal types are obtainable It is usually painted black, bright red and white to enable it to be seen from afar, has a pointed end and may be use for marking stations and straight lines.

(ii) Arrows or Pins: These are thin pointed steel wires about 30cm long With one end curved into a ring. A red cloth is normally attached to the ring so that it can be seen from afar. They are us during chaining for marking off chain lengths as measured and may be used for marking stations also.

(iii) Gunter's: Chain: This consists of a series of dumb- bell shaped links of steel wires joined together by three small rings. One Gunter's chain is normally 20.13m (66ft) in length. It is divided into 100 links so that each link is 19.8cm or 7.92ins is used in taking short or detailed measurement of length and breadth. It has brass handles at either end. A link is the distance from the middle of the central ring to the middle of the next central ring.

(iv) Measuring Tape: It is usual made of linen or fine steel sheet of various types and lengths. It is usually marked on one side with metric units and VI other side in the imperial units.

(vi) Offset Staff: This is a graduated rod 3m long. A hook may be fitted at the top for the purpose of pulling a chain through a hedge. It may also be used for taking short off-set measurements. Each telescopic link is 0.3m (30cm) in length.

(vii) Theodolite: This is used to measure horizontal or vertical angles or plane' It consists of the tripod stand made of wood/light weight metal in solid/telescopic legs. The tripod stand forms the base of the instrument. It has a lower plate which contains the graduated horizontal circle. made of glass or brass.

(ix) It helpsto determine yield or productivity

(x) farm surveying planning can be usedas basis of feasibility studies
