That"s what made me notice the fields was they were really ragged looking on the ends. Some furrows were probably 5-10ft longer than some others. You could see where they just got to the end of the field and picked the plow up and turned around and set the plow back down and plowed the next furrow. Most of the fields I saw they left a good 30ft on the ends and all you saw was weeds and big clods of dirt where it fell off the plow. Maybe I was just raised up different I suppose.

He would never leave a space around the sides so we could just drive in and pick.
