Chuck Whitaker gathered a few friends last Nov. 1, 2025, to
plow 35 acres at his family farm just northeast of Sigel, Ill. The
event came together rather quickly, he said. "Got a call from a
neighbor on Wednesday, Oct. 29. He said, 'Let's have a plow day
on Saturday.' I said, 'Sure,where at?' He replied, 'Your house.' I
answered, 'Oh boy, wife is going to love this.'"
Whitaker said orange tractors led the plowing parade with
a 185 and a four-bottom, a 210 with a five-bottom, a 220 with
a six-bottom and a couple 7045's — one with a seven-bottom
semi-mount and the other with a seldom-seen four-bottom roll-
over.
"Neighbors made sure the other tractor colors were
represented," he said. "Weather was partly cloudy and cool. And
yes, I was the one in the cab."
'Let's have a plow day!'
