Hi Scotty! How the heck are ya, anyway?

You've got to remember that I'm an old guy and when I make these comments on here, I'm just speaking for the way that I do things. Be they right or be they wrong, it is the only way I know how to farm.

Okay, after that bit of lip service, what Andy says is true; once you've created a depression in the field, it is a major undertaking to get it back level again.

Those plows move a lot of real estate; more than you would think, and it is very tough to correct a dead furrow in the middle of an otherwise perfectly level field. Without the proper tools, that dead furrow can be seen for years afterward.

I never follow a plow with a disc. Never. I think that is a total waste of time. I use the disc to knock down prior crop cover and get the field ready to plow.

I use one of these outfits to follow the plow. They are called a "packer" and they leave an absolutely perfect seedbed behind a plow.
