Hummmm. Plowing is more of an art than a science, esp with an older low-clearance plow. Soil type makes so much difference - what I tell you from Minnesota clay ground might be _totally_ wrong for you in your climate & soil.... Here a person can make a real mess by disking first, then trying to plow. Tall grass or corntalks or such can plug a plow up real bad. (Maybe this isn't a problem if you are in a much drier climate.) It's often better to plow what you have, and see how that works. If the plow plugs up real bad, then try disking. Sometimes it needs a lot of disking once you start, or it will plug up the plow even worse. So, better to start out just plowing, if it works great! If you disk first and that makes it worse, then you can't go back again... Mostly, it would seem to be a waste of time to disk first & then plow. Plowing is the heavy tillage, no point in wasting fuel & equipment. We plow in fall, and winter busts things up, rots down anything not plowed under. But that is here in my climate & soils. Can be a very different world where you live. --->Paul
