Aug. 11 - Threshermens Day 3 - Post 2

What fun to have Anna, Bennett and Dawson join me for the day at Threshermens! Bennett especially loves tractors and would have been happen to sit in the grandstands all afternoon watching A Year of Farming in 60 Minutes! But we also did some walking around seeing more John Deere tractors then Bennett has ever seen at one time before! We took one of the last trolley tours out through the fields and got to see nearly 20 older tractors with various plows or discs breaking up the rich soil. Most were old and just 1-3 rows wide in a field that hadn’t gotten plowed over the weekend! Was so fun to see so many farmers bring their old equipment to work the land together.

When it was parade time Anna and boys joined me in the Model A. Bennett rode with me back to the farm, Anna and Dawson joined us later. Once at the farm there was time for a tour in the Kubota to see the 20 plots of produce still waiting to be harvested. Then fresh corn for supper before Anna and the boys hit the road and headed north to spend a few days with cousin Diana and family.

Many old tractors plowing and discing the fields.

Rich Iowa soil!

We are excited and ready for the last parade at Threshermens 2024!

Bennett thought the Model A was pretty cool!

Out in the grandstands watching A Year of Farming in 60 Minutes! Bennett could have stayed watching it all afternoon! But Dawson and Auntie Karol were getting warm!
