  • This is my good friend and neighbor Mr Thomas Summers from right here in Morrison TN. Plowing his garden with his Belgian mules “Pat” and “Pearl.” He goes through the complete process of getting the mules up and ready to plow. Followed by putting them up after he’s done. They don’t come like this anymore.

    I am 72 years old now and my daddy used to tell us stories how he grew up on a share crop farm in Marlboro county in South Carolina. Back then he was just a little boy having to drop out of school in 3rd grade to work on the farm. He would tell us how special the mules were and their care came first over any of the family. He would tell us at noon they would give the mules a break and they were fed and watered before any of the family. I can totally understand that as the mule was their life. Today, most people are so spoiled if it does have a push button they don't work. This old guy here is doing this because he enjoys it. Still a lot of work.

LOL I miss this way of life so much! I was blessed to have had older parents who grew up farming this way. My Dad absolutely adored mules and always had a pair to both farm and log with. We owned a sawmill and logging company for many years when I was young and I developed the same love and adoration for them that my Dad did. Thank you for sharing ... and making me smile! Mr Summers and yourself are men ... something this world sorely lacks! Blessings Friend!

    • @zachodom7486
      @zachodom7486  Год назад +6

      My first walking plow experience was standing between the plow handles with my grandpa and his mules. As he plowed the garden with them. Where I was raised in lower Alabama, we too had lots of peanuts and cotton. Times were harder back then, but people were so much better towards each other. And people helped one another also. My pa had a dear affection for his mules! Fact, he always said “if it weren’t for our mules boy, we would’ve died!” His last team died in around 1992 and they were close to 40 years old. Thanks again for watching and commenting! I always love hearing from folks. Thanks! Oh, you can find videos on my channel of me plowing with a walking plow also. Just go to my channel, hit playlists, and scroll down to “plowing vids.” And it’ll be there! Thx again

    Excellent presentation with great camera work!!
    My Grandfather, born in 1896, said that He so enjoyed working with draft horses, logging in The Pacific NW as well as hay and wheat farming with horses. He said that that one good thing about the tractor coming into use was that it did not feel pain when an abusive person used it, unlike horses, mules, etc. He had such a loving heart and it really troubled Him when folks were unkind to animals.
