CW: talking about animal death
Just for reference, this entire argument is as incorrect as it is disingenuous. Setting aside that animal agriculture requires far more land to grow crops (and thus more land plowed) to feed the animals before you eat them than just eating the crops, the number of animals killed on roadways is about 100 times higher and the number directly killed for consumption as part of animal agriculture is more like 10,000 times as many.
Plowing a field is loud and slow, and the actual act of turning over the ground disturbs the ground a lot which can be detected several meters away. Animals are not dumb, most will run away. The majority of animals that would die as a result of plowing a field will be ones escaping that get picked off by birds of prey.
The biggest human caused problems with plowing that contribute to animal deaths are from starting around the edges of a field and circling your way inward as most small animals will instinctively run into the grass rather than across the wide open already plowed area, in order to avoid those birds of prey. Simply avoiding this pattern or even using no-till planting can further reduce unnecessary animal deaths by providing an escape route.
