June 2007 - Iowa Tractor Boys

Have No Fear. In order to develop a successful Iowa Tractor Boy you need to start them Young. Here you see two young Iowa Boys experiencing the joy of imagining what the future will be like. This Lawnmower is not running and it is a posed picture.

A Veteran Tractor. A John Deere Model 4060. A workhorse in the era in which it was manufactured. But due to the high cost of dedicated Farm Laborers, the Tractors were made bigger so that a Farmer could be much more efficient.

Here you have the opportunity to see the range of Tractor size as well as the various ages of the John Deere Farm Tractors. From mowing the lawns to deep tillage of hundreds of acres the Iowa Farmer needs a wide range of equipment to conduct farm operations. If you look closely you will also see some Iowa Tractor Boys.

The final picture today features a head-on view of John Deere Tractors. In addition to farming with John Deere equipment the young Farmer in front of the largest tractor also works at the John Deere Dubuque, Iowa Tractor Works. This Factory has produced Farm Tractors and Crawlers for sixty-years and the John Deere equipment line is exported all over the World, along with becoming a major supplier of Green and Yellow Farm Equipment for the production of Food Stuffs in the United States of America. In fact in the Heartland of America, the great Upper-Midwest, if it is in a Field, the changes of it being Green and Yellow is the norm. Please take note of the white tank in the picture which is a part of the corn drying operation each Harvest season. The other bins are for storage of corn shelled corn awaiting shipment to the producers of feed for livestock, food for us human beings and even exportation to the far reaches of our Globe.
