The last time I plowed was three years ago. I pulled an AC 2000 monobeam set up with 3x18 at 5.5 mph. I left no ribbons, it turned over completely and the dirt hit the ground fast enough it crumbled and the field was smooth with almost no indications off plow direction. It was so fluffy that pulling a disk through it dropped the surface 4 inches. And I only plowed about 6" deep. That was spring plowing, I've never plowed in the fall. I prefer to have the stalks and straw to catch snow. Now I've converted to notill and spend more on glyphosate, but a lot less on fuel and I'm producing a larger crop on the same ground.

I suspect the plowman on plot 13 needed to shift his plow twisting it to the left so it didn't shove the ribbon so far to the right and so would let it lay down flat, but plowing conditions were too wet.
