Plow Day returns this Saturday

Mt. Ulla Plow Day is a free, family-friendly community event dedicated to celebrating our agricultural heritage, preserving rural traditions and passing the knowledge and skills of farming from one generation to the next. The event is Saturday, Nov. 14. Plowing starts at 9 a.m.

Held annually in the heart of Mt. Ulla, Plow Day brings together farmers, tractor enthusiasts, families and friends for a day of old-fashioned fieldwork, fellowship and fun.

From antique tractors and traditional moldboard plows to more modern farm equipment, we welcome participants of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’ve farmed your whole life, enjoy collecting old tractors, or simply want your children to experience a little piece of rural history, there’s a place for you here.

Our greatest mission is to inspire the next generation. We believe the best way to preserve our farming heritage is to share it. Plow Day gives young people the opportunity to see agriculture firsthand, ask questions, learn from experienced farmers and develop an appreciation for the land and the people who work it.

This event is made possible through the generosity of local farmers, businesses, volunteers and neighbors who believe in keeping our agricultural community strong. Events planned for the day in addition to 50 acres of plowing include hayrides, tours of a working dairy farm and an antique tractor pull. Lunch is available for a donation. All events are free.

Mt. Ulla Plow Day will be held at the intersection of White Road and Lyerly Road. Please consider bringing non-perishable canned goods for donation to Rowan Helping Ministries West. For more information, call Chris Hoffner at 704-433-8263 or Ryan Sloop at 704-267-4212.
