Mule Skinners set World Record Plowing

The Middle Tennessee Mule Skinners gathered at the farm of Grady Jr. and Carol George on Short Mountain Rd. on Saturday to try to set the world record for the most mules plowing at one time for one minute. The record going into the event was 60. The MTMS broke the record as 95 mules plowed simultaneously for one minute. The achievement will be entered into the Guinness World Records.
