For those of you who have enjoyed some of the old slides that I've posted, I had to share this story and these photos with you. Keep in mind that this event took place in the late 1940's or early 50's and so if these were photographs they'd be black and white. That is one thing that I find fascinating with these old slides--THEY'RE COLOR!
My great uncle decided to compete in a plowing competition with our farms largest tractor, the Case LA!
He used our three bottom for the competition.
He had the plow set up just right and he did a great job plowing.
He plowed nearly arrow straight and...
had a very clean dead furrow. However, his head lands didn't start and finish as evenly as one of the other competitors and it cost him first place. We were still proud of how well he did in this plow day. I wish he would've entered more of them.
Checkout this IH in the competition as well.
