plowed field

Soil turned over

A plowed field is farmland that has been turned over with a plow, breaking up the soil in preparation for planting.

The surface shows characteristic parallel furrows and ridges of exposed earth.

Plowed fields appear in agricultural landscapes and rural imagery: Crows gathered in the plowed field, The plowed fields stretched to the horizon.
