Farmers Skip Competition for Fields, Hotpot Dinner Awaits

0:00On March 2nd, farmers finally got some ideal plowing weather, but it meant just a few showed up for the annual competitions. Most skipped the event to tackle their own wet fields, making the most of the rare dry day. Onlookers packed the fields anyway, offering plenty of advice on turns and furrows. Nearby, dry stone wall builders worked fast to stack neat sections with impressive skill. Headers joined in too, laying down an old hedge at no cost to the owner. With tasks wrapping up, attention turned to the hot pot dinner and speeches waiting at the local institute.
