	Harrowed is in fact a real word, though you city boys might not know
it. A harrow is a farm implement with discs or sharp spikes on it, used to
break up clods and lumpy grounds after plowing but before planting. To harrow
is the act of pulling this implement over the field, and a field which has had
this done to it has been harrowed.
	(It's in the dictionary, by the way)
