Oregon Folklife Network Community Conversation

Join Plowman Duane Van Dyke and folklorist Makaela Kroin for a closer look at one of the many living cultural traditions of Yamhill County. Van Dyke learned to train and plow with draft horses from his grandfather. Today his team of draft horses works his farm and competes at plowing competitions. We’ll share photos and this will be an open conversation so bring your questions! This community conversation is the culmination of the OFN's survey of the Portland Metro area. This survey was made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, Art Works, Folk & Traditional Arts program.
