Allan, what to do about the left over dead furrows? The farm I grew up on had quite a few acres of flat river bottom. This land had never been tiled to assist with drainage, but instead the previous owners had plowed the land to purposly create ridges, the theory being that the top of the ridge would be dry enough to farm, and the valleys would assist in carrying off the excess water. In practicality, it did not work that way, even in a dry year we still had wet spots that could not be farmed. To alleviate this problem we began disking those fields at a more or less 45 degree angle to the rows. It took several years of tilliling the ground in this fashion, but we eventually eliminated those ridges. I would think you could do the same thing on your flat ground, eventually eliminating the dead furrows.
