Ploughing turns over the stubble from the previous crop burying weed seeds and creating a clean seedbed for drilling the next crop.

A reversible plough being "turned over" at the end of the field. Turning the plough allows it to travel back along the same furrow that it has just created

The view from the drivers seat looking backwards. On the left is the plough, to the right is a press. This is a heavy set of rings that helps consolidate the ploughed ground.

The tractor sits in the furrow that has been created as it works its way across the field

Ploughing usually turns over the top 25cm of soil.
