Fourteen Tractors and Twenty Men Plow 90 Acres
The Potter farm on the Hastings frontier was the scene of a remarkable community effort as fourteen tractors and about twenty men plowed a 90 acre corn field in one day. Neighbors led by Joe Darland and Joe Haden coordinated work, with Cecil Hamilton guiding mule teams to move harrows and passersby ferrying water. Harry Potter, recovering in Edmundson hospital after a severe leg injury, was honored by neighbors who stayed in the field from morning until 4:09 pm, completing the task and sharing a meal in the field.
