Looks like it might have been hard plowing, so a straight furrow might be hard to do.
Years ago helped an old farmer during the day, worked the night shift. Every morning I spent a lot of time trying to straighten the furrow if he had done some plowing after I left for work. Didn't want the neighbors or the folks going by on the highway thinking I had plowed that way. lol Old black gumbo really likes to make a plow skate.
thanks for the pics, Charlie..

Charlie, Let the wife and granddaughter do some of the plowing Then you can say they plowed it that way. LOL
No the furrows look good, I was just pulling your leg. If it drys up here I'll be doing some of that too maybe.
Don't you just love power steering?

Don, Yes I do. I figured if anybody would notice that, you would. I didn't know how to act about 3 years ago when the pump puked on me. I used to work for a farmer that would get the sprayer all hooked up and ready to go, and would say " guess I'll go straighten some rows." He claimed if you put enough water on, when the sun came out to dry it, the corn rows would shrink and straighten. Dave, I f my Dad was still around we would be plantin' taters tomorrow. He always had to have them in by Good Friday.
