If you are opening up corn ground or tearing up an old hay field, all the farmers in our area plow. 

I know that plowing is a dying process back east, but we have heavy clay soil and must plow.

So after disking we Terry plows

BUT if a farmer is going from a former bean field he can rip the field open because of how the beans grow causing a much loamier field.

Terry plowed all the old corn fields, and today he is ripping the old bean field.   

I’m really glad he has retired, before all of this would have taken place after 7 at night and before 6 in the morning.  Now, while I am at work, he is at work “playing” in his fields.
