I have hosted a plow day for the last 6 years. Every year it is fun. Things I have learned are: I decide on the date 3-4 days before. (need good weather and dry soil) I have a call list, people who have participated in the past and others who have expressed interest in it. Friends tell friends. I have never advertised. A day or two before I do the lands. Plowing takes care of itself. Everybody can bring something to pass- it is a family thing. We supplyed sandwitches sometimes. we are never short of food and drinks. A deck over flatbed works great for food. We have never had a porta-potty, we plow from 1-4, if anyone needs to go, they get a golf car ride to the house. Roundiing up picnic tables is difficult, need as many chairs as possible, straw bales work too. I usually have 10-15 rigs plowing. (2-4 bottoms) ,maybe 75 people. If this is you first plow day, start small, don't invite the whole county. Do you have a couple of buddies that can help you? Can some one take charge of the food? Lat year I only plowed a round or two, spent most of the afternoon hauling kids around the field in the gator. Nice to have a shaded area for lunch. People spend most of the time talking, barely get 20 acres plowed. Never had a problem, other than the weather. That was the times I decided on a date monthes before. Brian (MN)
