Ralph:
I think that is why moldboard plows were put in the fence rows much 
quicker in the North than in the South.  Down here we have to use power 
to do what that frost heave and snow does.  In this clay it takes a 60 
hp tractor to pull a 3-14 plow 6 inch deep.  You can get stuck in only 
3/4 inch of mud.
We got 1/2 inch of rain here this morning.   I nearly ran back inside 
the house when I saw it!!..  First rain since August.
