Steam plows in New Jersey show high efficiency in beet fields

A May and June report from the Department of Agriculture details a Fowler double ending steam plow trial in Burlington County New Jersey on Col Patterson’s 32 000 acre estate. Twelve plows driven by two six horsepower engines cultivate 60 rods wide at eight inches deep, plowing 18 to 25 acres per day with one operator guiding and reversing at furrow ends. The soil is sandy loam and plows work with measured regularity.
