plow days gone by

Very neat pictures love them old tractors and plows turning the ground under.Thanks so much for taking the time to share them.I'm hoping one day I could host a plow day.Thanks again Blaine
 
Neat pictures. Love that old iron.

I started a plow day in '07 with 8 old tractors.
Then it grew to 17 in '08; 4-H served food and drinks and they made $100.
Then last yr we had 33 old tractors (2 pulling people movers), and 175 spectators! 4-H made over $400. We had drivers from 18 to 73 yrs old (me).
For 2010 I have 51 tractors scheduled to come.

Rule #1: All tractors have to be 1959 or older.
Rule #2 no hotrodding or showing off.
Rule #3 all motors shut off for noon hr so kids of all ages can look over all the machines.
Rule $4 is you must have fun!

A local man made an excellent 28 minute video, we have sold 72 so far. We give the profits on that to the local food pantries. Video sells for $10 ea, and everyone says it's great.

This thing is growing so fast it's kind of scary.

Hi Lowell, interesting story. another part of History. Don't get too caught up in the plowing in Wisconsin and forget about our meeting in Ontario!!!!!!Cheers, Murray
 
Local family hosts a draft horse plow day every year- but its always in February, and most years, its way to wet to do effective plowing. Don't understand why they don't move it to April.

Horse plowing is always more exciting than tractors- because the horses generally do the unexpected at some point.
 
I have never seen horses plowing, I think that would be fun. We don't seem to have a lot of interest here for people to show up for plow days. I am hoping to change that and get a few new people every year. I glad you all liked the pics. I will be posting more very soon.
