NOMECOURT (AFP) - Four hundred and sixty three tractors harnessed to plows broke a French record on Sunday by simultaneously plowing the same plot at Nomécourt (Haute-Marne).
The 463 tractors simultaneously plowed a 40 hectare field, said Mickaël Masselot, spokesperson for the Young Farmers of Haute-Marne, organizers of the event which gathered thousands of curious people, almost 20.000 according to the organizers.
The previous record for simultaneous plowing of plots had been held by the Somme department since 2005 (284 hitches).
A bailiff was present to officially record the record, said the organizers.
