It’s been so dry at Howell Farm of late that no plowing has taken place since the plowing match 10 days ago. The ground is too hard. Once it rains enough to soften up the soil a bit, fall plowing will become the farmers’ priority.
Pete Watson, Howell Farm’s director, noticed something unusual today as he walked past the moldboard plows sitting idle in the carriage barn. They are so clean they are gleaming in the sunlight angling into the barn. Almost like they were polished for display. Apparently the ground was hard enough at the plowing match that the abrasive soil scoured the plows cleaner and cleaner with every pass up and down the furrow.
