I can't remember plowing up much sod, but if I left gaps like that after plowing, I'd of gotten a talking to by my father. Guess we plowed at a faster speed, and in less dense soil. However 100% coverage of any green was desired. To cut that first furrow, took some jockeying of the plow levers to drop the front lay down. I've read about the ploughing matches, and read stories of how a farmers skill could be read by his straight furrows. But after the dust bowl of the 1930s, straight furrows started to go out of fashion. Never seen a plow that could just drop one lay at a time, other than an old gang plow. David, thanks for posting these photos, quite interesting.
