field plowing and how to plough

Field plowing tecnique can make you get big harvest. So, you must learn it to get more knowledge.

The plough or plow is a tool used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting. The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface, while burying weeds and the remains of previous crops, allowing them to break down. Ploughs were initially pulled by oxen, and later in many areas by horses (generally draught horses) and mules. In industrialised countries, the first mechanical means of pulling a plough used steam-powered (ploughing engines or steam tractors), but these were gradually superseded by internal-combustion-powered tractors.
Find the center of the field in the front center and back, mark off the center with stakes or sticks if you want to just run them over. line up the tractor on the stakes and plow as straight as you can. Next time you plow the field you want to throw the dirt out so you have a ditch instead of the center ridge
When disking always go off a few degrees from straight to help level field and you will have to disk the ridge several times to knock it down.Don't forget to use a heavy pipe or square stock behind the disk (a little longer).

In a larger Fields you can divide the field in half or thirds
I would start out in second or third for plowing and jump up a gear for disking and adjust gear as needed
You'll have to disk at least twice.

Field plowing story:
We found a guy to plow our fields over a month ago, and we were hoping that he could come last Monday to do the initial sod-flip with his mold board plow. A mold board plow cuts the sod and then flips it over, exposing the loam and allowing the organic matter in the grass to rot beneath the surface and enrich the soil.

This picture shows a double bottom mold board plow (double because it has two mold boards).

We went to bed content and certain that we would have beautifully plowed fields by Saturday afternoon.

Dave headed down to the field and I lagged behind, taking my time, totally calm. The tractor had hit a rock, a really big one, and the force of the impact had stopped the tractor short and thrown the driver hard against the steering wheel. It had also bent his plow. It was over, with less than a quarter of our first field turned. When the plow hits a large rock, instead of stopping the tractor short, the spring on the plow breaks and swings it up and back, preventing the plow (and the driver) from being damaged. A 4-wheel drive tractor with a spring-tripped plow could creep through the field, finding the rocks without causing harm to the plow or the driver.  If we could find a 4-wheel drive tractor, than we could slowly plow the field, and every time the tractor hit a rock, Rick could come in with his excavator and dig it out.   Big Rock!Plowing the Small Field from Black Brook Farm Growers on Vimeo.

In the first field we hit a rock on almost every pass. The second field had a lot less rocks. The good news is that we got both fields done by 2 PM on Monday.
