Tractor enthusiasts will demonstrate the plowing of a field in a celebration of traditional farming
When it comes to machinery, there are folks who gravitate towards classic cars or trucks, towards trains or airplanes or in the case of a group of local enthusiasts, a fondness for tractors. Their goal is to preserve old tractors and farming implements for education, fun and history.
About four years ago, Ted Dlugosch of Yorktown, came up with the idea of hosting Plow Day in DeWitt County where local farmers and tractor enthusiasts could help out a fellow farmer by plowing fields using vintage and antique tractors and plows.
