Hi Chris,
     I didn't mean to open a touchy subject with my proposing you write about your dads plow. When you had showed it to me, I was fascinated! I think it is pretty special to have the opportunity to travel abroad as your dad did and compete.  Because Your family has been connected with Oliver for 3 generations and I am sure your young daughter will perpetuate all that as well, it would never enter my mind to think you write too much about personal experience.
   I guess I would have a lot to learn about publishing!
    Once in a great while I will spring for one of the european tractor publications (usually over 8 bucks) and they often have articles about plowing competitions. These are primarily about precision, i.e., the squareness of the furrow wall, the flatness of the bottom, the straightness of the length of the furrow.... Yikes! It's impressive. I believe what your dad was doing was different? As I recall the plow was quite different.
     Well, I don't want to put you up to anything that would get you in dutch with the readership, but you would certainly get my vote if you ever did write such an article.
    Regards,
             Cal
