Most often while driving around Wisconsin we see machinery and men ploughing the fields of the state powered by combustion engines. While sliding down the Cannon Valley of southwest Monroe County, we spotted machinery and a man ploughing the fields with two horses and a puppy. We would learn the horses were Percherons, a special breed originally from France, a majestic and powerful breed able to take on tough jobs such as ploughing, and memorable jobs such as drawing a marriage carriage. We met Jim Olson and Lady and Sandy, and Jim was kind enough to put his team through a routine for us to watch, photograph and enjoy.
