On Saturday, 5/23/2020, the Chapter #18 plow day happened as planned. I had debated if this event should occur or not for some time. Most of the chapter events up to this point had been cancelled due to the pandemic, but since a plow day could be held (at least in my mind) within the rules of social distancing I felt the need to have the event proceed. In the end, I was glad that it happened. Not only did the participants all seem to have a good time, there were some spectators who seemed happy to share in the fun. Having fun is what Chapter 18 is all about and the ability to use our toys just adds to the fun. There were 8-10 tractors, 3 horse teams and a mule team at the event. I plowed from 9:00am until 6:00pm with only a break for lunch. Since there were fewer tractors with generally smaller plows on the field, it took longer to plow the fields. But, we came close. I was able to finish the day without any issues. I came close to running out of gas once, but I did not have to walk back to get more.
