A local farmer, probably with the last name of Patton, has become a magnet for all of the old agricultural implements and tools that other farmers in the area want to clear off their land. So he has improvised this display for passing tourists to stop and view.
This very early piece of equipment was used to smooth the surface of the planting bed while cutting two furrows into which crops could be planted. The spacing shows that this unit was probably for corn and/or potatoes.
