plowline

Field row marker

A plowline is a rope or strap used to guide a draft animal pulling a plow, essentially the reins connecting farmer to horse or mule during fieldwork.

The term appears in rural and historical contexts: He gripped the plowlines and clicked his tongue to start the team.

Figuratively, it can suggest steady agricultural labor or rural heritage.
