It looks like in many of the videos of different fields, they were burying the humus and bringing sand to the surface. A few had sand that looks like a river deposit, from a flood, and the black humus was buried, so they flipped that layering. It has to be pretty good clay schist surface to block rain from draining into the soil.

I removed the depth guide from my 20" 2 bottom plow so I could make it go deeper last winter. My reason was not to bring the sane up but to burry organics deep into the sandy soil I think this fall I'm going to try and turn a 10" layer of straw and manure into the garden plot. This summer I had fewer weeds and didn't have to water near as much, but the top still packed hard from watering Still the crops were an improvement over previous years.
