I’ve always looked forward to this gallery of yours.

From what I read, plowing is going out of fashion generally, for good reasons: 
more erosion, more weeds and pests.

Thanks for sharing this, Dave. Love the images, especially of horses at work. A 
shame it was the last year. 

I experienced the very end of my grandfather’s horse farming. I remember the 
sound of the horses munching their grain in their stalls in the barn after a 
day’s work. 

I wish it could have continued. Maybe it will return.

So I'll answer instead. We have ploughing matches in the UK too. The idea is to 
get the furrows nice and straight - with various technical necessities best 
described by some of my fellow countrymen



and after reading all that, my reaction - as you may well imagine - was.

Some nicely isolated images Dave.
What’s the object of the plowing, other than the obvious rut produced. Is it a 
timed event or what?
