I always do what my dad learnt me, start a landing by plowing a strip together, not so deep with the front bottom so it stays as level as possible, then keep plowing around until the strip is about 40 paces wide, then go over about 80 paces and start another strip by plowing it together again, when this strip is 40 paces wide start going around in between the two strips you already have plowed, then you will end up with a dead furrow in the middle of the 3 strips. It is best to keep the dead furrow as shallow as possible. OK, then the next year you do the opposite, try and keep a record, or most of the times you can see evidence of the dead furrow and plow your first strip together at that point and keep going that way. It has worked for me for many years and that way you keep your fields level as possible. Today with the large farms chiseling is the preference of fall tillage in the midwest. Plowing takes skill, not like the big rippers, just drop it in the ground and go.
