NO. You are not understanding what they are doing. You start out with perhaps a 9' long furrow in exact center of field and when you get that land to 9' wide, 3 passes then the next time around at every corner with a right hand plow you raise the plow and make a left hand turn of 240*. 180* would be a 1 /2 turn with you going back the way you came, a 240 would be going a bit farther and makeing a 3/4 turn, (A perfectly square right hand turn) and start dropping your plow like if you were starting to plow the end off. If you are using for an easy example a 3 bottom 12" plow that cuts 3' wide every round is 12' longer than the previous round. First full round plowed, round would be 36' long, second 48', third 60', fourth 72', and fifth 84', sixth at 96' and seventh at 108', eight at 120 " and on up, you would see that each round gets a lot longer fast, and when you were done the last furrow would be 1 mile long. When you are finnished each side would be 1/4 mile long. The only time the plow is out of the ground is during that left hand turn and depending on make and model of tractor and plow could be as little as 15' per corner. You would only have 1 furrow completely around the outside of the field and if you did that every year and you were using a single disk you would always have a completely level field with no bowl shape developing on the outside edge of the field.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
