When you are deep ripping wet spots. Rip the way the water should drain if possible. Even if you just do that on the last pass or first pass. Example: If you are in a low draw.

The reason you want to rip it like it would drain in that the bottom of the ripped soil will act like a ditch and drain the water away. I rented a farm many years ago that had been ripped across the drainage paths. The ground was alway wet. We had a dry fall one year and I ripped it the way it should drain and it made a big difference in how wet the field stayed after that. It helped two ways:1) the ground drained better because the hard pan was gone. 2) The internal drainage channels where opened up it the direction the water should go.
