I have hosted a plow day for 4 years now. all on wheat stubble in sept. I assume this is your first one? If you have trouble with people not wanting to come back next year, you're doing something wrong. I have never advertised, I call a few friends, then they call a few ect. I tell my neighbors about it. last year I had 15 tractors/plows and 75 people. About the right size. Depending about interests and field size, you might want to set a limit as to the size of plow ect. Have food and drinks (no beer ect). I figure one plow for 1-1/2-2 acres. (most people make a few rounds then eat and talk) It is a family thing, with wifes, kids, grandparents, so you must plan for that. It is "pot luck", there has never been a shortage of food. Never needed a loader for unloading. If you are the host, don't plan on doing any plowing yourself, you'll be busy with other stuff. People seem to have a real problem parking their cars in a spot that is in the way. Supply picnic tables, garbage cans, lawn chairs, portapotty if you are away from the house. One year we had a tent, the idea was to use it for shade, we used it to keep out of the rain! As you can see most of the your work has nothing to do with a plow or tractor. Start your strips the day before and enjoy it, plow day for you will go by fast. Brian(MN)

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
