Mike: You make an excellent point. I have not been on the farm for 47 years and I want to (re)learn this also. I suspect there are different names for the same implement (bottom plow, turning plow, moldboard plow, etc.) which only further complicates things for guys like me who know just enough to be dangerous. And then, I suspect there are different methods, using different equipment to accomplish the same task. I'd love to know each step of the process - if, for example, I had an undisturbed 10 year old 20 acre pasture in North Alabama, and wanted to raise sweet corn and had a Farmall H plus a Super A with cultivators. I know farming is a lot different today. For myself, I am not interested so much with this modern no tillage; I am more interested in learning to farm with my old tractors. I'm not sure, but I think cultivators are a thing of the past, unless you are one o' them there "Ecology Natural Grown Farmers", (which sounds like it wouldn't be all bad from a marketing standpoint). It is all chemicals today. mike
