I got in a big argument on here one time as I said it depended on the soil, part of the country and the crop as to how deep you needed to plow. The "now deceased and well respected old fellow" I was arguing with said you needed to plow (I think) a foot deep, and that was it!!

I have seen single bottom plows that construction companies used, but not farm plows.
