This was quite a problem in the early years and small fields as a lot of farmers always plowed and started from the outer edges; after twenty years of plowing that way there was a huge bank of quality soil in the bush and literally no top soil left in the middle of the field. Every year you would move that soil 14 or 16 inches and 6 to 8 inches deep so it does not take many years to move that soil 10 to 20 feet over a period of years. My Dad had rule that if you plowed out one year; then the next year you started in the middle and filled that old "dead furrow" in, leaving the remaining dead furrows on each side of the outer field edge.
