The is a small almost circular field round here that they did
plough
it
as one furrow. Literally just went in and spiraled toward the
centre.
I'll bet he wished he hadn't when he got towards the centre!
All that running over your ploughed land, UGH!
may not have been as bad with horses (by the time tractors were
introduced one hedge had come out and made it a part of a 5 acre
field.)
and disk harrowing it might have been easier.
It is the only example I can think of.
They plough to follow contours in the MidWest (USA) , don't they?
I've taken the liberty of x posting this to sci agric as Gordon will be
