At that point the field would be ready for planting.

I don't know where you grew up, but it could have been our back 40. I used to love to catch a ride on the drag. The tractors only went 4-5 mph with such a load back then. I would be so totally covered with brown dust that my mom would make me wash off (ie give me a shower with a cold garden hose) before she would let me in the house. I don't know how much damage all that dust did to my lungs. Good times.
