No, You'll plow in both directions. I have no idea the shape of the field but in theory you would start exactly in the middle of the field and plow down then turn and plow back right beside where you just plowed down. You can also make your land by making the first pass around each outside but be aware that if you throw the dirt out too far you'll not be able to get it back which is why you often see dirt swelled up against an old fencerow. Plowing to the outsides over and over also leaves a dead furrow in the middle (dead furrow is where two furrows meet).
Maybe you should check out some youtube videos if this is your first time.
Here is an example of plowing to the "outside" (dirt always moving toward the outside of the field)

At the end of this video the operator turned to the right, driven to the edge of the plowed ground and gone right back up the field. That puts a furrow at both sides of your land. One side for traveling up the field and the other side for traveling down the field.
Here is an example of plowing to the "inside" (dirt always being moved to the center of the field)

Notice the land still in between the plowed ground
If you have never plowed before I recommend reading a plow operators manual so that you understand how to adjust coulters and tail wheels/landsides. The key to plowing it to keep the plow level while it is in the ground. That means front to rear and side to side. Get it in the furrow and then level the plow with the ground. The tractor tire will be in the furrow which will cause the tractor to lean to the right side. You'll have to compensate for this unlevelness with you your tractor lift links to level the plow back out. Your top link will level the plow front to rear. If you change depths at any point you will have to make minor adjustments to your front to rear and side to side adjustments again.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
