Joel Wagner, secretary of the USAPO, has sent his national newsletter with all the important details regarding dates, site location, hotels and national banquet. We look forward to seeing our Iowa plowmen compete. Bring home those trophies gentlemen!
• The world matches are being held in Estonia this year. Gene Gruber and Jeramie Nietfeld are our two competitors for the USA. Both will be plowing conventional class. We pray for their safe travels and wish them great success during the completion.
That’s about it for this year’s newsletter. I hope to have more to report about state matches in the next month or two. Have a great summer everyone!

Help a fellow plowman:
I recently purchased an old breaking plow that I need help identifying. I usually do not purchase equipment that does not have brand/model info on it, but this one was very reasonable priced. I need to go thru it and do some repair work but would like to find info/diagrams if possible first. Hoping you can help me, I can send pictures also.Thanks Jeff Clingan Fulton MScommunity.
