  • 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.

    The love of a Mule from a man that loves his Mules.
    Respect between the three can easily be seen.
    He is 83and the mules are 22 and they are a matched pair for sure.

    As a little girl in E TX, I walked behind my Grandpa plowing with mules. I actually planted peanuts walking behind him. This is one of my most cherished memories.

    • @zachodom7486
      @zachodom7486  Před rokem +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

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.

    My grandpa didn't sit. He walked behind the mules holding onto the plow "arms". Sorry, I forget what they are called. This was over 60 yrs ago. It was hard work for the mules and hard work for my Grandpa. I miss him still.

    • @zachodom7486
      @zachodom7486  Před rokem +2

      Yes you’re right. I too have walking plows and that’s mainly how I plow with my team. I enjoy plowing more with a walking plow than a riding plow. Riding plows have just became a thing in the south over the last 30 years. Most people that farmed with a team way back, in the south, used mostly all walking implements. Folks down south were too poor to afford much of anything. My grandfather was much the same as yours and I miss mine dearly too. Thanks for watching and sharing with me! I appreciate it

And honestly I can do better work with a walking plow than a riding plow. But I enjoy plowing with either. And yes, Mr Summers mules walk a tight line for sure. They’ve done it many many times.
