If you want a nightmare for seed bed preparation, do a poor job plowing.
The sod needs to roll completely over and stay there. If it doesn't, you need to make adjustments. Otherwise, you're just making a mess and no amount of disking will fix it.

The ground had never been plowed before, so the plow would go from scraping along the surface to 12" deep in the blink of an eye so making adjustments was an exercise in futility. I started, so I had to finish. It was a mess. I spent hours bouncing over it with a disk and then a spring tooth harrow, and never did get it smooth. Then I planted corn. Then it rained, and rained, and rained. The weeds grew, but you couldn't even walk in the field let alone spray or cultivate. It was a total waste of time.
