Morphology
double-furrow + plow
The meaning is directly compositional: 'double-furrow' = having two furrows (double + furrow) and 'plow' = farm implement, so the phrase denotes a plow that makes or turns two furrows. This regular compound formation follows predictable English morphology and has clear parallels cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the component words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Double-furrow plow is a farm tool name for a plow that makes two furrows, which are long, narrow lines in the soil, at the same time. Because it can 'turn over' two strips of earth at once, it helps a farmer prepare fields faster.
