He Bought 35 Draft Horses Instead of a Plow — They Laughed Until the Field Held Three Hidden Acres
He Bought 35 Draft Horses Instead of a Plow — They Laughed Until the Field Held Three Hidden Acres In the fall of 1978, in the narrowest part of the Matanuska Valley, Silas Blackwood spent his entire inheritance on thirty-five draft horses and was declared a fool. The declaration wasn't official, not recorded in the Palmer courthouse, but it was passed over coffee at the Roadhouse and confirmed in the feed aisle of the co-op. It was a consensus built on the unassailable logic of progress. Then, with those same horses, he found the three acres of land nobody knew were there. #TheQuietFarmer #HeirloomCorn #SeedContest #CountyFair #OpenPollinated #OldFarmTales
