A few things to think about. Furrows were either 10 or 12 inch and covering trash or green growth was a bigger problem. Also sitting up like that may have been beneficial - remember a lot of ploughing was done in the autumn and the frost/thaw cycles helped to crumble the sod over the winter. A larger surface area showing at ploughing would make spring cultivations much easier. Soils are different and different solutions were used to solve the perennial problem of making life easier in those days. All mechanised ploughing was better/easier than manually digging the sod. Remember also that land was left fallow some seasons on rotation to control weed growth or return fertility with manure crops etc. I understand in these days some trash is not buried in some areas to reduce the soil erosion. They didn"t have those problems as much, in the old days.
Regards, RAB
