Farming yesteryear enthusiast's keenly ploughing as in olden days
A ploughing match is a contest between people who each plough part of a field. Nowadays there are usually classes for horse-drawn ploughs and for tractor ploughing. Points are awarded for straightness and neatness of the resulting furrows.
Another hard year for farmers and my best wishes to them this Christmas.

A hectic few days for us, as some family and friends can only do some or part days due to work commitments. I won't be back for more than a few minutes until after Christmas.
Finally, I'd like to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Have fun!

This vintage Catapiller sits on display at the Guy Goodwin Education Center in Carrizo Plain national Monument, San Luis Obispo County, California. Cattle were brought to the grasslands of the Carrizo Plain by the early 1850s. The next big change came when dryland grain farmers started homesteading in the valley. Eventually vast amounts of the grassland was put to the plow. The farm work was orignally all done with horse drawn euipment but eventually tractors like this one did the heavy work. The Carrizo Plain gets only 8 to 10 inches of rainfall a year on average but the amount during any given year can be highly unpredictable. The risk of crop failure due to insufficient moisture became to great and most of the farming efforts were abandoned. In the last few decades many of the homesteads were bought and became part of the National Monument which is administered by the BLM.

The next morning we were off for a walk to another lake.
First we went from our holiday home to the ground station of the cable car. On our way we passed the farmer of the farm below us at Clavaniev, mowing his large meadow with a handheld machine.
A cowbell (or cow bell) is a bell worn around the neck of free-roaming livestock so herders can keep track of an animal via the sound of the bell when the animal is grazing out of view in hilly landscapes or vast plains.
Hanging from each cow's massive neck is one of the most recognizable symbols of Swiss farming culture: the Treichel. The northern German-Swiss farmers call it a Kuhglocke. Others simply know it as a cowbell.
