Hey guys & gals...We are just about 1 month away from our 4th. Annual Mayfield Farm Show & Plow Days Event. This year will feature the following: Friday & Saturday plowing (weather permitting) for all makes & models of tractors (from vintage full-sized to garden tractors and 2 wheeled models). Plenty of land to be plowed ! FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY ! 10 acre corn maze; haunted trail; corn cannon; punkin' chunkin' sling shot; Great Food & Mayfield Ice Cream; Hay rides; Music; Pumpkin Patch and MORE ! Exit 52 on I-75 in Athens, TN then follow signs. Web Page is http://www.mayfieldfarmandnursery.com Hope to see y'all there !...'Country' Elliott
 
Country:

Looks like y'all are going to have a grand time. It is on the CubFest and Gatherings Calendar and this is now a sticky .. :D
 
Thomas, if we both show up, perhaps we can coordinate a cub express North to South run if folks need stuff moved. I will be at stonethrow in GA the weekend of the 4th.

Hey Neighbor Dale & Thomas...That's GREAT NEWS ! In terms of plowin'...we've got one field that's a little over 10 acres, and MORE available if necessary. The Mayfield folks have been wonderful hosts over the past years, and their family farm is one of the oldest operating farms in Tennessee (since 1820) ! Certainly with all the activities for the kids, it's a real family event. Major chain hotels are within 5 miles of the farm (on Exit 49) I-75 in Athens, TN...and there's an RV campground The Overniter within 3 miles at (Exit 52), that has given event goers a 10% discount off their rates if you tell them you're attending the show. http://www.overniterrvpark.com :wink: ...'Country' Elliott
 
I plan on using my #152 disc plow (YES Dale...I'm finally gonna drop it in the ground :{_}: ) Puttin' on a plow day is chancy at best, because you're always at the mercy of the weather. In past years we've had BEAUTIFUL weather & RAINY-COLD weather. As we get closer to the 26th. I'll keep you boys posted on our local Athens, TN forecast. With money being as tight as it is & fuel costs being so high...I hate to see any of you travel any distance to be with us unless conditions are nearly IDEAL :D Of course, if you're not gonna plow...you're WELCOME to come by anyway and see the displays (or be a part of them) :wink: ...'Country'
 
I won't be able to bring a tractor with me unfortunately. I'll be able to attend one day only. Country, what day do you think would be the best day to attend?
 
Hey Thomas...
Generally Saturday is the best day of the two. Friday (with many folks still working) becomes a setup day (and of course the weather becomes the MAIN FACTOR) for folks coming from out of town. Are you planning to come with your family Thomas ? Are you needing a hotel room or a campground site ? ...'Country'

Thanks Country. I'll shoot for Saturday then. Darci's Mom lives in Cleveland. We'll be staying there. Darci and I will spend Friday with them and I'll be in Athens Saturday. Thanks!

We can start plowin about 10 a.m. both Friday & Saturday and they'll be a place in the field to set up your plow prior to 10 a.m. both days...:wink: ...'Country'
 
'Country, I am not gonna be able to make it. Our local club came up with a plow day the same day, and, Jan and I have an early afternoon church fall festival.

I just can't do all 3. Sorry buddy.

Well Cubbies...I disc plowed about an acre with my Farmall Cub. The weather was BEAUTFUL, and the soil conditions were FANTASTIC...rich dark brown loamy soil that rolled of my disc plow
like butter. They had about 1500 school kids at Mayfield's today & they enjoyed watching me plow the field and seeing Roy & Albert's Hit & Miss Gas Engines. I'll look forward to meeting any of you
who show up tomorrow...whether you're there to plow or just shoot the breeze...'Country'
 
Hey guys...THANK YOU'S to Thomas Mays and Bob with his BEAUTIFUL Cub Cadet 108. Today it looked like it would rain any second...BUT NOT A DROP ALL DAY LONG :{_}: We got to plow with my Farmall Cub disc plow (Thomas took a turn on it too). We also had Bob with his Cub Cadet and Brinly plow...A JD 317 with a Brinly plow...a JD 332 with a Brinly plow...and 2 Farmall M's and a Farmall 450 (for display).

Scotti Mayfield cooked us up a bunch of his DELICIOUS Country Ribs, and we had a BIG wood fire goin' that my buddy Roy kept stoaked with oak firewood. I know that Thomas took some photos (maybe some videos too) and I'm sure he'll post them when he gets back home in Mississippi.

We had a GREAT TIME BOTH DAYS with old friends and new ones. We'll do it again next year ! MANY THANKS to our hosts, the Mayfield Family (Michael, Scotti & Ms. Lisa) for sharing their lovely farm with us each and every year :{_}: ...'Country'
 
I sure enjoyed my day with y'all Country Elliott! I don't know which was best. The plowing or sitting around the fire talking to fine folk. It's always great to meet new friends. Here are a few pics I took and a video of Country plowin

Thomas:

I did the youtube link for you. Edit your post and you will see what is required to successfully post a youtube video :)
 
Hey Thomas...I'm glad you enjoyed yourself at our Mayfield Plow Days :wink: THANKS VERY MUCH for taking those GREAT PHOTOS & the VIDEO :{_}: I hope that next year you'll bring your Cub & 152 Disc Plow and we can really dig up some soil :wink: I hope that you & Roger will get together, and be sure to give me a call the next time you're in Cleveland, TN ...'Country'
