redfor, Past years we have been charging each plow tractor driver $5.00. However, we have been so successful with our video sales that we might not charge the drivers anymore.
Parking? We have this field we plow in....we have volunteers guide spectators to the parking at the roadside end of the field...no reason to charge them. The plowing is set back a good 300 ft.
Spectators get a free ride so they end up spending money on food...the 4-H is the benefactor. You charge spectators and many don"t come back...and the 4-H will suffer.
Cleanup? Not an issue. Farmers don"t litter. City dudes are not here. 4-H has a couple barrels for trash.
Expenses are for porta potties & helicopter fuel (drone next time). About $190 total. Sell 19 videos and we break even. Or charge drivers a fee to take care of this.
Best advice I can give you: You or someone has to be in charge. You can"t wimp your way thru this. Get a bunch of guys together in the winter to discuss all the details. Then assign duties for each of them...don"t sit around wishing it will go smoothly all by itself because it will not.
People love to help as long as they are asked and are appreciated. Our video has an ending that credits a lot of the volunteers by name.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
