Local tractor show and pull

Well if you cant go to a show or pull what is a fellow to do? Why have one on your own property where social distancing can be done.

Yeah, our local steam show bit the dust
I have for several years provided the oats for the steam powered threshing demonstration. No show, and I still have the oats. So thresher owner brought it down, and we threshed here in my field. Powered with a JD tractor belted up instead of steamer. Had a good time. With a few selected participants, and guests. Best we could do under the circumstances. And the oats are in the bin!

A friend of mine used to grow and thresh some oats at his farm near the road and all were welcome. I was a lot younger then and would help by riding the binder ant when threshing day came I would do a lot of feeding the oats into the old Huber threshing machine. He is gone now and I'm to old and crippled up with these bad hips. His son had a stroke this summer at 53 and hasn't recovered yet so there probably won't be any more of them. There would be close to 100 people show up for it and it was never advertised, people just knew Leo was gonna do it. I sure miss those days.
