Migraine: That is such a great idea, you go in and plow the farmer's field. If he buys the fuel, he still has agreat deal. I think the idea of having a couple of senior plowmen on hand to help with adjustments is great. New guys will always encounter some adjustment difficulty until they see the results. A lot of folks tend to look at the plow as something to dig the soil up with. They don't see it as a tool with quite sophisticated adjustments. Also very important to match up the 12", 14" or 16" plows, you can't have different width furrows mixed.

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.
