An older neighbor lady was talking to me and she was telling me about this sweep her husband use to have a long time ago. I havnt ever heard of it,cant find anything about it,is there another name for it maybe? The way she was trying to describe it I couldnt picture it.
What is it used for, or is it just another type of sweep like a row sweep or is it some sort of sweep for throwing dirt to corn rows maybe? Im lost and ignorant...both

were also called "fowlers". it had a set of "fenders" that ran along side of the row to keep any dirt from getting on young plants. before the advent of modern row crop spraying it allowed you to plow young crops before the weeds/grass got bigger than the crop.
