Yes Sir,

You and I are doing the same exact thing only we're using different methds. The old guys used to explain it this way:

Start the tillage deep and bring it's level up a little with each additional pass until the last pass before plantin' is just two to three inches below the surface leaving you a perfect seedbed.

Guess this is why I'm such a fanatic lover of the darned packer (or culti-packer as some call 'em) for plowed ground.

I like to plow at about 10", then pull that packer over the ground. It loosens the soil, breaks it up into a fine consistency and packs it back just right at the top two to three inches all in one pass.
