I'm glad you guys think the OP has an equipment-$#!tting dog...
With a name like "Fergienewbie" I bet he's got an old Ferguson utility tractor with a two-bottom moldboard plow and a light 3pt disk at his disposal.
If he's got a heavy offset tillage disk and a big tractor to pull it, bully for him, but I'm betting not.
Fergienewbie, in the make-do category, try to wait until its a little wet and then disk the snot out of it.
If you can adjust the angle of the disk gangs, set them for maximum angle.
If you can add weight, add as much weight as you can stand.
If you have an old I-beam, pipe, or even a heavy log 6-8' long, chain that to the back of the disk and drag it along behind to bust up the clods and smooth things out better.
Get it smoothed out as best you can and then plow it again. This time get the plow digging evenly front to back, side to side. If you can't make it work, bail out. Don't root up the whole thing and make a mess out of it again.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
