branch 158 fall plow days November 13 2010

Our Third Annual Plow Day is planned for November 13, 2010, starting between 8 and 9 am.
Due to its immense popularity, large turnout, and the small field we had last year, we will be moving to a new location near Pleasant Grove. Silmer Scheidel has volunteered the use of his property off Brewer Road. He has hundreds of acres there and we have a 30 acre plot designated, with more available if needed. There is plenty of room for parking and more land than we could all plow up in one day. We will have a crane available for unloading and loading your equipment.
Directions: From Highway 70/99 north of Sacramento, take Riego Road exit and head east on Riego Road (which turns into Baseline Road) about 5 miles, then north (left) on Brewer Road about 2 miles to 6201 S. Brewer Road, Pleasant Grove. From Roseville or points east, you may also head west on Baseline to Brewer Road, then north to 6201 S. Brewer Road. The plowing site is about ¼ mile east of Brewer Road on a private lane, so look for the directional signs on Brewer Road.
This will be a hands on learning experience for those who want to try their hand at plowing. Bring your tractor and plow, disk, or other tillage implement and put it to work. We can help with adjustments and advice. If you don’t have an implement, that’s no problem. Bring your tractor and hook it up to one of our plows or just bring yourself and we will put you on a tractor and plow. If you have never plowed before, that is all the more reason to show up and have some fun while you learn! After the plowing, we will disk and smooth the ground. For more information, contact John Boehm at 530-668-9410/ [email protected]. In case of rain, please call or email to find out about possible rescheduling.

It's a terrific event. Can't wait!

Wish I knew where I put the bolts for my wheel weights. :noidea:

And a good time was had by all...

It's amazing what gets plowed under during these events - this year it was a camera. Two years ago, a wallet.

I should have worn earplugs, though. I sat down to play the piano this evening and for a good ten minutes, I thought something was wrong with the piano, because it sounded so quiet.

Thanks for letting me drive the 60! I could be wrong, but I think it's been over 15 years since I got to drive one.

Now I know what the difference is between the earth-moving Cat enthusiasts and the ag Cat enthusiasts... the ability to drive in a straight line! 😆

What?
