If you don't use herbicides its very hard to tackle weeds without moldboard ploughing because all other tillage leaves weeds on top. People talk about cultivating, harrows etc but they must live in drier areas because here if you don't bury it or remove it or kill it with herbicide it stays growing here.
Moldboard and rocks don't get along. I just plowed a bunch with a spring trip auto reset plow and broke shares and points, and job was terrible as it kept getting knocked out of the ground. While discing, I've picked almost 100 bucket loads of rock off the 10 acres and hauled dozens of the big monsters away on forks. Its down to maybe 20 buckets left.
I put the c-tine drag harrow on with the teeth set 1" below the skids to level with, promptly brought up hundreds more basketball size rocks and kept plugging the harrow with them.
I'll have another 20 hours rock picking left to finish the field at least. Also holed a newish Firestone 14.9x24 front tire on a pointy rock.
There is a little area near the bottom that I didn't plow but it got sprayed off, after 2 or 3 disc passes it looked closer to ready for planting than the rest that was plowed so that is what I'm doing next year.

If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
