up date on the spring plow day for northeast Iowa ...here are some pics of me and a buddy plowin there last year this was on April 9th 2011 it was beautiful in the low 60"s perfect plowin weather...the ground in the plow fields ranges from a dark loam to a clay loam mix but all plows well but you know you have a plow behind you... also the terrain is rolling and we farm aroind the hills up here and varries alot

we will have a porta potty and small food area and will have a date in early January ...also approx 25 ish acres to plow ... but looks like early April will be out target date...

Ok no time like the present to announce the date of the northeast Iowa plow day... after much thought and looking over my work schedule which can be crazy in the spring ... The date is Saturday April 7th ...with no rain date ...as corn planters will be rolling the following week up here... ... we will have approx 25 acres of good bean stubble for plowing...a small lunch area and also a porta potty on site ...

plow day will be 15 miles straight east of Waukon, Iowa ...just off county road a52... will post an arial map soon...further details on lodging etc... will be posted soon... .


so if a moderator will change the date on the thread that would be helpful... thanks Rob

I'm really praying that the girls and I can make it this year after a several year absence. We really miss seeing every one.
