 Re: Ridge and Furrow 7 messages | Select a forum: |
| Or Rigg anf Fur as it's called in North Yorkshire. One old local once told me that they ploughed the land like that for two reasons. Firstly, they didn't have reversible ploughs and secondly it more or less guaranteed at least a partial crop in the worst weather. In wet weather the ridges did not get waterlogged and in dry weather the furrows retained some moisture.
