Jason S., Here in Texas Never saw a moldboard being used Ever! Closest thing to a moldboard plow was our 2-3-4 bottom disc plow to put it in Midwest terms, Here Called a Double, Triple or Fourble disk, then Tandem the ground level a get to Bedding or hence Middle Busting!. Back to your question........ After land was worked up then it was "Listed" or "Bedded" up! This got your land, in rows, ready to plant ( in the era of planting in the "Bottoms" Your planter was set to "bust out the tops and plant in the fresh bottom. Also making the crop readily available to catch any rain that Fell, it was funneled right to where the seed was" Cultivation was accomplished by having a tight Puckering String to drive on the tops a cultivate out the tops throw the soil to the new crop and make a new Row Bottom. In crops where there was little to no crop residue, the Farmer would fall in, after harvest and bust out the new top which was the row of the crop. make new pretty rows in the fall then fall back across to "Rebed" the Field to have all ground loosened up and ready to catch Fall and Winter Rains being ready to plant in the spring as soon as things were right! Breaking plows, ie Disc plows weren't used every year.Maybe every 5 or so! Hope this helps Later, John A.
