"On a routine day in 2002, I got up and
checked my e-mail at 6:00 am, " said

him that a movie props manager had
contacted Farmer Brown's Plow Shop.
She was looking for civil war era farm
equipment to be used in a new movie
called "Cold Mountain," based on the
novel by Charles Frazier.
After further arrangements with the
movie managers, Farmer Brown's Plow
Shop from Hunt, NY, sent two
refurbished plows from the 1800s to the
set. To help the actors with plowing
technique, a genuine "Plowing With
Farmer Brown" video was also enclosed.
Though the story is set in the turbulent
southern states during the American Civil
War, the movie was filmed in Romania.
The Wiard Plow, built in Batavia, NY,
was seen most often in the movie,
produced by Miramax Films. Jude Law,
the actor who played the main character
of "Inman," used the plow.
The Oliver Plow, built in one of the
company's mid-western factories, was
used less in the film, though does make
some cameo appearances in the farm's
barn set.
The movie debuted on Dec. 25, 2003, and
featured historical accuracy in farming
equipment, made possible by Farmer
Brown's Plow Shop.
