This event is solely for the purpose of providing the public with the opportunity to view and/or participate in the plowing exhibition. No fees are charged to view or participate in the activities. This is an opportunity for individuals to relive a part of our heritage or to view for the first time that part of our heritage as it relates to methods of plowing the soil. In 2005 participants came from over 170 miles to join the activities. Approximately 39 horses and/or mules and 24 tractors as well as a 5/8's scale steam engine were involved in the plowing of approximately 150 acres the two days.

In 2007 approximately 35 horses and/or mules, 50 tractors  were involved in plowing 180 acres the two days. 

Plans are to have the event again next year on October 18 and 19, 2008. The rain date will be the following weekend.

The 2008 Plowing Exhibition will NOT be held this year due to the flood of 2008. We are  working on our homes, buildings and the fields. The fields have holes, trash and water standing in places. Homes and buildings needing repairs and removal of the mud and other flood related items to make them functional again. Thanks for your understanding due to the circumstances.

Plans are to HAVE the Plowing Exhibition again this fall providing if all goes well. We still have work to accomplish from the flood of 08. But we are making progress each and every day. Just waiting for the weather to cooperate for the spring field work to begin and things will look and feel much better. Been nasty weather, wet and cold, and have yard work to get accomplished as well. I hope to do a better job of keeping this site updated. Thanks to all that have continued to check this site.
