    That old phrase, laying it by, I had not heard that since my great uncle used to say it concerning something he was doing in his garden, think I was about 8 years old.
    Thanks for sharing this with us, plow did a fine job👍

      I guess we used it a lot around here because that was one of the milestones to hit with your tobacco crop.

    I am a 71-year-old Union County, NC guy and when I was growing up dad used a plow like this in his horse farming. He called it a turn plow to help break ground. They also made them that will throw the dirt the opposite way. For plowing between the rows dad used a straight plow stock to which he would bolt what he called a bull tongue and added a wing which were made with different angles depending how you want the dirt thrown. You might want to look at some of the Amish sites to view some of these. I think there is also a site called Working with Horses.

    Good job my Grand Father taught me how to plow a mule when I was around 10 years old. That was a big thrill for me I always wanted to farm more than just a garden. I finally have a place in Arkansas where I can have a big garden. Just got to stop the deer from eating my peas and okra up. Going to try what Danny at homestead farm uses. Bills bone sauce hope it works for us like it does for him. Thank you for reminding me of a memory from 69 years ago. God bless.

    @AirplaneDoctor_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You're correct about the plough being used for multiple tasks, it was the basic tool every farmer started with since the advent of civilized agriculture. Even today l still watch the Amish in my area use them for everything possible when it comes to vegetable farming, it's fun to watch, but it's a hard way to work the land day in and day out.

    Leaning the plow will guide it, pulling up on the handles will make it plow deeper and pressing down on the handles will make is more shallow. That is what I remember from many years ago. Cultivating with sweeps and half sweeps work the same. What is the width between your rows when laying off with your 140? All the best from Greensboro NC.

    • @lamontpowell6235
      @lamontpowell6235 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're right Gwayne. Also letting the chain out longer will make the plow go deeper.

    • @gwaynel8363
      @gwaynel8363 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The hole adjustment on the end of the plow also help to control depth. What is the row width when laying off rows with the 140? All the best, Wayne

    • @Jtwes

    First time I have seen horse drowned tools being pulled by a farna,l tractor. It made me wo der if a cat. 0 turningng plow could be made to mount to the back where you tied the chain to pull from? I have had a old model A farmall for 50 years. Last week I got a 1954 FARMALL 100. It only has cultivators on it now. I hope to get a turning plow and planter. I have a friend that has a planet jr two row. That is what I would I think because you can plant any size seed frm onions to pinto beans with it. Keep up with the great videos. Would enjoy more videos of you singing .

    I think we lost a lot when we quit using horses/mules, one being efficiency and the other accuracy. But we did trade that for faster with less manual labor - as I think you'll agree on. 😆 It did do a nice job of laying that dirt by though. 👍God bless.

    Another great video. Never used a plow behind a horse, but spring tooth harrow and a few other implements.
    Had hopes you received some moisture to water in your new planting. We have not hard rain since the first part of June. Running irrigation water about 24 / 7. Looks like the 100 degree days might end in ten days or so.
    Busy with all kinds of harvest and fighting weeds in the vegetables.
