yes ,thats a picture of a lister plow.you will hear terms like double listing,back listing etc.what folks would commonly do in the dry areas where most of the moisture fell during the late fall, winter, and early spring with long hot dry summers,would be to plow with a lister plow in late fall throwing up soil in long ridges . rain and snow would stand in furrow bottoms and sink into subsoil over the winter.then they would come in in spring and use a lister planter to split out the ridges and plant their seeds.cultivation would level ground back throwing soil against growing plants and leave roots way down in ground where moisture was trapped and making the field smooth again for mechanical harvetors.. if a person listed during fall,and decided he wanted to sow or drill a crop in on the level,he would either use the plow again to level field before planting, or us a middlebuster to knock down ridges and pull maybe a harrow to level ground up for planting.you could single list and simply use the planter to break out and plant ground at the same time of course. same basic concept is used today on planters but most have gone to disc type openers of some sort because they dont have to be treated like a plow share ,rebuilt,sharpened and all. they can be replaced much faster and easier.basically listers were tools used to conserve moisture for the most part.and they allowed lots of crops to be grown in places where there was barely enough moisture otherwise.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
