In Reply to: old plowing term ? posted by jic on February 19, 2013 at 06:43:34:
jic, As far as I am concerned Cut-it and Covering meant to me was... referrers to a Oneway plow ....You had Farmed up and got a piece land ready to sow in the Spring, (really disked deep and a nice seed bed was ready!) Got a heavy rain, or rainy spell and the little weeds started sticking their little weed heads out of the ground! Problem is you need to re-plow, but Not Deep! set the Oneway disk... shallow about 1 in deep run in a higher gear to cut most of the weeds, and cover the rest. (Farmall M, 4th gear mid to 3/4 throttle) You don't want to loose the soil moisture by deep plowing. Just stir the top 1 in or so of the soil so you can sow Sudan, Redtop Cane or whatever in short order and get that crop going. I recall doing it 2 or 3 times growing up as a kid! Yes the next time you plowed that field, more care had to be exercised to get all the little ridges and such out. So essentially it is a way to replow a piece of land to get a crop planted! and save your moisture.... at least here in Central Texas. Just my understanding of the term and how it relates to Me! Later, John A PS, We had a Farmall M Dad bought a brand new JD 8 ft cut tiller series Oneway, Hydrolic lift on rubber tires W/ the stinger tail wheel. It did a really nice job in the Lampasas river sand that was my Dads home place.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
