S.E.Iowa Poppin' Johnnies/ Classic Collectors LGT Club will be having their annual PLOW DAY October 15th & 16th, 2011 (rain date Oct 22nd -23rd). Food, drink & bathrooms are on site. I have included a link that shows past PD's. The ground is very sandy and is easy plowing. The garden tractors will have their own area for plowing as do the farm tractors and horses.

The dates changed to the following weekend. We have Harvest Days set up for October 15th & 16th to get the late crops out. IF anyone wants to come and plow on the 15th, let me know. I can set them up with some plow ground in another area. Late crops and weather can put havoc on any outdoor event.

There is a very nice sports bar/restaurant that is just 3 miles from the plow site that has a wide variety of food choices for a reasonable price. If I can get a head count, I'll call to reserve some tables for Saturday evening.

I'll have water and some soda's in a cooler at the blue canopy. Please sign in so the club can have a head count and address to mail you a PD flier for next years event. You don't have to be a member of Poppin'Johnnies or Classic Collector's clubs to plow. Donations for the beverages and port-a-potty are welcomed.

Fine sandy soil conditions that will definitely polish up the rustiest plow you can find! You won't need wheel weights. Both bean ground and some corn ground if you like will be plowed.
I've got responses from over a dozen plowers myself that say they are coming. There will be a good showing of Cub tractors here.

I went to our plow site this morning. WOW, great easy flat plowing ground! The first 10 acres are along side the road with easy parking(signs will be posted). Then we can cross the road to another 300 and some acres. The food trailer (chilli,hamburgers,chips,drinks,ect) and the bathroom are just across the roadway.

I've got the wood ready for the Saturday evening bonfire/ BS session. I'll have a cooler full of water and some soda, plus I'll have some chips to munch on.

Just in case you need directions to the plow site, here is the link:

I apologize for not making this year's Plow Day. Sometimes one has to take care of themself first.

 

[pdyer]

We ended up with 30 garden tractors total for the 2 days and around 25 acres of ground plowed.
I had a great time visiting with everyone and even got a few rounds in myself.

FYI, Mark your calendars for next year October 20th/21st for our next fall plow day. Because of the great showing of tractors this year, next year we will have 35 acres for us to plow in. I'd like to have at least 50 tractors for next year.

Paul,
Thanks a bunch for a nice event. Man that sandy soil worked as advertised....really shined up the plows.
I will pass the word around! Let's see 50 plowing next year.

 

[pdyer]

The Poppin' Johnnies/Classic Collectors Clubs and I would like to thank everyone for attending our plow day. Without YOU, this event would not have been such a success. The land owners of the plow fields, Tim Deiters & Bob Orman were "VERY impressed with what those little tractors can do!" There's a lot of talk at the local elevators about "those little tractors out their". Make a note on your calendar for the 3rd weekend in October 2012 and come back. Bring a friend!

Thanks again.

Paul
