Thanks, we do a split crown here and are using two sod plows. All soil and grass is cut. Takes lots of practice. But is fun.

So, if you badly do a feer, to fix it is it called a refeer? Is this how the English word 'refer' came to be? I began a rabbit trail following the word(s) thru the dictionary.

Looks good.

I was at a plow day today in Nova Scotia. Not a plow match. Just a fun day. I didn’t take my tractor, but a buddy of mine let me use his tractor for a few rounds.

When we threw two furrows together from each side it was a back furrow. The open furrow at the end was a dead furrow as it was not touched or used again.

When the feering work is done, do you let it sit like this till Spring? or do you wait a little while and then run the disc harrow gang over it?

Normally we have to thank the local farmers allowing us to take part in competitions then it is usually ploughed again by their ploughs ready for winter barley or wheat.I am lucky my friend is a farmer and this year he is allowing me to practice for any local matches
