Let us anounce PLOW DAYS everywhere

Why not every one that is holding a plow day, take the time to anounce it in this thread. Cowman I know you are having one, but when? David Hodson yours is on March 18th, but where. How about you Bob M when is the plow day in Upstate NY. Then you guys here in SW ON when are you places and dates. Anyone else out there let us know even if your only hosting 3 guys let us know, it will grow from there. 3 years from now you could be hosting a 25 plow event. I can't think of a more economical activity you can do with that old tractor. Creates far more excitment than a show.

Another fact plow days work best when you have all colors. Make your plow event look like a rainbow across the field. You will also develop a network on where to find plow wear parts. If Forging companies are going to turn out points, shares, moldboards, lansides, etc. they need volume, and if that volume is there they will do it.

SO LETS HEAR ABOUT YOUR PLOW EVENT.

Hugh, we had one here in kent the last weekend in Oct, that was the second one we did, lambton also had one last year, I"ll let you know about the next one we have, and you and mike have to come out!

I find myself time and time again involved in discussions where folks are looking for plow wear parts. You and I know the parts are out there. I just wanted to impress upon folks the importance of getting involved in plow days. The forging companies making these parts are only going to continue as long as there is volume.

I sure you do this, I have looked at your plow days calendar. Maybe plow events organizers should invite farm store folks who handle wear parts to set a booth at their event.

Keith I would try to come up to yours just 370 miles. If you don't mind a old IH diesel in your field? Super MD and/or IH 600.

These plow days can be turned into a fun day for the whole family. Great social event. What is more important the more of these we get going, the better the supply of plow wear parts. Forging old plow parts will last as long as there is volume sales for them.

I would think, given the state of farming today with all the no till, many of these plowing clubs could find a niche market. Custom plowing, think about it, not worth that guy with 200 hp keeping a plow around to match that tractor. He will always have the odd field he needs to till, be it leveling, tileing or maybe some ruts. May just be a great way for some of these part timers to get in on the action of modern day agriculture. However if they are going to do plowing they have to be good at it, no messes. Plowing messes take a long time to disappear.
