Mike Plowing is the first step, this turns in organic matter left by crop residue and loosens the soil so the disk will work properly. Then the disk works the ground fine enough to plant crops in, they don't do well in clods. I suppose the contraption you refer to is a middle buster, not everyone uses those. It puts the crop on a ridge for drainage or moisture purposes I guess, we don't use them in Ky. The purpose of cultivating is for weed control and loosening ground so it can absorb more moiture. If ground is packed tight heavy rains tend to run off insead of soaking in. Tobacco in particular will not start growing good until it is cultivated and the next day you can tell a big difference in it. I am not good at explaining some things, I hope this clears it up a little
