Most times you are not letting it break down before you RUSH in to disc. You rush out and plow and as soon as your done you drop the plow and hook to the disc. and away you go . NAH let it lay , then next up is you have and OLD light weight disc that the blades are slap wore out and to small and it just bounces over the clods and brings them up with out cutting thru them . Then the next thing you try and do it run a spring tooth harrow over it and it brings up more . So you get mad and disc again and again . Now you are COMPACTING the ground with each new discing . two best ways we have found is (1) take the hay off first then plow , lest trash to turn under and let it lay and dry out this also allows the weeds to start to come on and before they go to seed then disc it FULL CUT with nice big blades and added weight on the disc just one pass and let it dry . Do not grind it into powder . or (2) spray it after you take off a cutting of hay and let it burn down then turn it under and let it set and dry . You are probably also not running fast enough to turn the ground under and not running cover boards . Poking along in second gear maybe the old way of plowing and may look pretty on the cover of the magazine but leaves a LOT of green tips showing but this will also get you clods .

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
