It's quite different now, for me anyway. Back then, half the farm was in hay, one quarter in oats, one quarter in corn. One quarter of our acres were plowed down in the fall. That was the old corn stubble and stalks. That ground would be worked with either a spring tooth or disc or both in the early spring (April) and put into oats with grass seed (alfalfa, etc).
