Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
When a bottom (of a moldboard plow) turns the soil, throwing to one side a ribbon of soil that is called the furrow slice. When plowing is started in the middle of a strip of land, a furrow is plowed across the field; on the return trip, a furrow slice is lapped over the first slice. This leaves a slightly higher ridge than the second, third, and other slices. The ridge is called a back furrow. 3, record 2, English, - back%20furrow
