Hey Kurt, I like to see new faces!!!
Finally someone got my better side.

 

[cengelking]

Kurt, How did you like the weight on those tires!!! Are you still master of your domaine or do you sit when you pee.

Just wanted to take a minute and thank all who came out to make Saturday such a great event!!! The weather was great, people were great, and the quality of the plowing was some of the best I've seen yet!!!!!

There were over 100 registered and over the course of the day probably a total of 200 people at the event. There were ~70 tractors in the parade lap ("official" counts ranged from 63 to 75), with one pass totaling 60 feet!!!!

There are ~37 tillable acres in the field we were in and short of the headlands, you guys plowed it ALL black...a new Blunier PD record!!!!!!

Thanks again from all of the Bluniers for keeping this a safe and fun event...2 years from now, when this field is back in beans, you are all welcome back!!!!!

A few of the 200 or so pics my wife took.....

Anybody speak up for the spring Plowday yet???

 

[mhomrighausen]

HOWDY TRAVIS!!!!

Are you going to host Spring Plow Day???

THAT would be fantastic. Before shutdown I had two coworker's and a good friend ask to let them know as soon as I found out a place and date. If so, you can count on three of our Cubs showing up to plow.

 

[reddy]

are there any plow and play days coming up in iowa in 2009?

 

[tschweizer]

Well if no one else speaks up, I'd be happy to

TRAVIS - Is it too early to start working on WYATT to get His WHEATLAND ready to plow?

That's about like ME getting My Farmall's ready for the RPRU in Madison this summer. I had over THREE years notice, and have about 5-6 months to go and haven't done a THING.
