Evan - you are confused because 2 guys are making different points and using similar terminology.

Mountainman08 was simply saying that when you plow up a furrow - next time through - put your right tires in the deadfurrow and roll the next section into it.

What Ken3g was saying is that sometimes - its better to come back empty (not plowing) - plow all in the same direction - and then you end up with NO DEADFURROW in the middle of the field. And to plow up hill if you have a choice- because you roll the soil back up hill (where it came from). It makes a huge difference over a few decades.

With food plots - its like this -
Level - evenly plowed fields are important -

I still deal with dead forrows in the middle of my fields from when I first started plowing years ago! Now - I will take my time - and in a small field I'll roll it all off to one side - drive all the way back and start the next row next the the last one.( not plow back on the opposite side of the field). On a couple fields - I leave a roadway (not plowed section) down the field - so that I can come back and avoid deadfurrows.

Reading back - Its hard to explain properly - but.............once you plow a feild or two - you know exactly what we are talking about.
