furrower

Field groove cutter

A furrower is a person or implement that makes furrows—the long, narrow trenches plowed into soil for planting seeds or drainage.

Agricultural furrowers attach to tractors or tillers: The furrower cut neat rows through the field.

Figuratively, anyone who furrows—including one who furrows a brow in concentration—is a furrower.
