Something I have not seen discussed on this forum is using draft animals for farming . My grandfather and me would hook up our horse named "neil " and plow the fields . A plow horse has to trained to obey precise verbal commands , walk the furrows in a straight line and not reach over and grab a bite of something to eat from your crop . The person holding the the plow stocks also has to be trained or the plow will wander to the left or right destroying your crop . Honestly I never mastered the plow and usually left that choir to my grandfather . We had various plow attachment to use , depending what our job for the day was , we would use the appropriate plow . Seems the plows we used most was the turning plow and the middle buster . I know few people have a trained plow horse these days or the plow for a horse or the knowledge and skill to use them but thought some might be interested in this mostly lost farming skill .
