Trying to pick up the trail
Four months later, towards the end of September and after a long hot summer, I’m back in the same area. It’s depressing. The carelessly arrogant techniques of modern agribusiness have left huge fields of disc-harrowed and unprotected soil at the mercy of the frequent winds and sure enough, tan dust is being whipped up and blown away. What a crazy way to treat the soil in a semi-desert. Haven’t any of them read The Grapes of Wrath? Someone is making short-term profits and that seems to be the over-riding consideration.

suelo/terreno labrado con [grada/rastra] [a disco / de discos]
"disc-harrowed soil" se refiere a suelo que ha sido labrado para ser cultivado, y específicamente que ha sido gradado con una grada a disco [España] o rastreado con una rastra a disco [Argentina]. No es una operación de arado ni de roturado del terreno, sino otra operación (que a veces se hace luego del roturado, otras veces sola).
En lugar de "a disco" también se dice "de discos".
Dependiendo del terreno, se puede roturar y luego gradar, o directamente gradar con determinados implementos de arrastre, de los cuales la grada/rastra a disco es solo uno de ellos. Labranza es el término más genérico y abarcativo y claro para lectores generales.
El autor contrasta la labranza tradicional con la moderna siembra directa sin roturar el suelo.

" Overuse of disc harrows in the High Plains of the United States in the early 20th century may have contributed to the "Dust Bowl". "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_harrow
"The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. The phenomenon was caused by a combination of both natural factors (severe drought) and manmade factors (a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion, most notably the destruction of the natural topsoil by settlers in the region).
...
The Dust Bowl has been the subject of many cultural works, notably the novel The Grapes of Wrath (1939) by John Steinbeck, the folk music of Woody Guthrie, ..."
