Well,
It is official, no Pow Day for me.

Maybe in the fall.

It's official now!

I also just got off the phone with Super 8 in Charles City and they gave us the same room Rate as last year!

I'm praying for rain on the 9th!

Just found out my &@&%@*! brother scheduled the family reunion for the 9th!

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN! on the 9th!

Wow, less than one month from Plow Day, and an hour east of the farm we've got 2" of snow already.

 

[dross]

Yea! I'm here, I can't keep up like I want but I get here once in a while

Kraig-
No. I'll consider myself lucky to get the time to change oil and put the 10.5 Titans back on the 169!

CHARLIE - Sounds like PD #9 could be the biggest CC verses JD ratio since PD #1 or 2..... All the JD Guys must have switched to "Minimum Tillage"

I registered just now to be safe. I had to laugh because the tractor types fields all default to JD

 

[wcompton]

Travis-
Any word on how the field's thawing out? Fields up my way range from dry & thawed or have a layer of frost a few inches below the muck. I saw in the DesMoines Register a few days ago that they're doing field work as far north as I80.

Rick M,
It defaults to JD cause Mike,Robb AKA WFM Machines Site handle the registration end of all the combined PD's. And those guys are kinda partial to the green tractors.

Wyatt,
I talked to Travis the other night and he says there's no frost in the ground and if it doesn't pour down rain, we'll be good to go!
Also, the extended forcast is for DRY and temps in the 50's for that weekend, so this could be a perfect Plow Day.

BTW,
As a little <font color="ff0000">ENTICEMENT</font>to come to Plow Day. There is a brand new in the box Brinly 10" plow, Donated by Brinly Hardy, Inc., http://www.brinly.com/
That will be one of the RAFFLE prizes.

 

[kehrecke]

I'll be running a Deere at this event. Robb is paying me BIG $$$ to run one for the Green Team. Why do I feel like a prostitute???

I haven't been on here much lately. I'm coming up Friday - did anything ever happen with the night plowing thing?

 

[sblunier]

Guys are running field cultivators in a few fields near Peoria....why????? Beats the hell outta me????

 

[tcbusch]

OK, here is a question for everyone.

The idea of a plow day interests me. If you guys were trying to sell this idea to someone what would you say?

I don't own a plow. So why should I drive 2 1/2 hours to Rockford, IA?

If I go, should I bring my 3 non plow cubs?
