Mike Puts Lisa's Plow + Pulling Horses through Paces.
Serious sustainable small farm farmgal Lisa has three big pulling horses -- two Percheron and a Shire -- plus the old fashion International Harvester plow to dig up any back 40.
We were invited to watch Mike put the rig through its paces today -- impressive driving, skilled plowing, remarkable command of these magnificent draft animals.
Lisa called it quits after two long furrows -- earth was hardpan: much too dry, rocky, and tough on the horses. We got quite a demonstration nonetheless. We were honored and humbled to witness this Pioneer Spirit made manifest.
