Fields are pretty irregular here. I've never owned a plow. We had one when I was a kid and used it in table flat ground. That was in the days of "till it to death" though.
I won't cultivate or disk over terraces. I plant with the terraces on most fields. There is one field with terraces that I mainly plant over - it isn't until the top 10 acres that it gets steep so I plant and till with terraces there.
One of the big problems here is that some of my terraces were built where there are springs so it is never dry enough to plow there. It is dry enough to get a planter through about once every 5 years and then you have a 50/50 chance of getting the crop out you planted there.
On the steep fields around here they plow with the terraces and only the terraces. I don't know of anyone that has tiled around here but there are a good many terraces.
The highest spot in the county is on the next section over. That idiot disks and plants right up that hill. They are just hard on everything - land and equipment alike. Daddy gave him everything and will buy him more topsoil if he ruins it. Lol

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
