Farmers get back to roots at Vintage Plowing Bee

The Palouse Empire Threshing Bee Association will circle the wagons and break out the harnesses this weekend for the annual Old Time Farming Days Plowing Bee at the Palouse Empire Fairground five miles west of Colfax on Highway 26.

Teams of horses and mules will take charge of powering the equipment to plow, plant and fertilize the 15 acre Mockonema field April 15 and 16. The event is open and free to the public. A no-host lunch will be available, catered by Jenny Meyer from Endicott Food Center....
