Abstract:

Wayne Hussey of Randolph County embraces the traditional mule and plow method of tilling his farmland. North Carolina was one of the last states to employ the use of mules until 1950, when tractors replaced most of the farm labor. But Hussey has kept his mules working the fields and going on the road to showcase in competitions.
