[Farmall] BASIC implement questions

[Greg Hass]

Although they plow fairly deep, I have heard that disc plows leave a good 
share of the trash sticking up.  This, supposedly, is why they were more 
popular in the more arid parts of the country.  This is for two reasons, 
the first being that the trash helps slow down the wind and prevent wind 
erosion, and the second being that it helps shade the ground and prevent 
evaporation of the moisture.  It does not sound like the best thing for a 
garden.  I have never personally seen one operate, so I cannot say for 
sure, but it is worht looking into and thinking about.  Perhaps someone on 
the list who has actually seen one used can settle the question.  Let us 
know how you make out.
