Post by: Rural53 on February 06, 2024, 06:15:14 PM: This thread sent me down a Youtube rabbit hole that ended up at the deep ploughing of the moor lands of Germany and The Netherlands where the top layer soil is ploughed under and the lighter sand and peat soil is brought to the surface to make the land more suitable for crops and easier to work on.

Historically...

Present day...
