What Small Town Farmer Types Do For Fun
(Photo Above: As they roll into town.)
They go on a Tractor Ride!
What’s a tractor ride you ask.
Usually in the summer when field work is at a minimum (about now apparently) farmers and those who just love tractors break out the classic machines and hit he pavement showing off their restored (and those yet to be restored) much loved tractors.
I suppose it is like a classic car show only with field equipment. There is allot of Red (International Harvestor) and Green (John Deere) but there was a small handful of other breeds in the line-up.
Kinda a nice bit of Americana there really.
(Photo Below: Hard to see but there are about 35-50 tractors. Everyone is parked to take a break.)

This is a very interesting post. We have tractir displays, mainly antique and classic at our local county fairs — but I do not know of any traditions like this here in Ohio.
They are quite common in Iowa. In fact there is another this weekend about an hour from Rolfe.
Hehehe
Sounds like fun!
