Garden Grooming
As you can appreciate, real Iowa Tractor Boys live on functioning farms in the Heartland of our United States of America. Although they are actively engaged in full time farming activities they also take pride in the yards and gardens surrounding their homes. The title of this Blog is "Garden Grooming." In as much as I, the author of this Blog have spent some time in England I refer to yards and lawns as Gardens. Thus this title.
The young Iowa Tractor Boy shown here is operating a device mounted on the front of his John Deere Riding Lawn Mower which is called a "Rotary Broom." I have been informed that it is not a detacher and is used for grooming. This young Farmer also works at John Deere as a welder. Additionally he has a contract with the Clayton County Board of Supervisors to maintain several Cemeteries in Clayton County. A busy young farmer, but I must also say a very dedicated young family man who also is an Elder in his local Church.
As you might gather by now, Iowa Tractor Boys are generally engaged in their Occupation, their Family and in their Community.

Getting Ready for Harvest 2009

While it may appear to be folly to be preparing for the 2009 Harvest in March it is really a prudent undertaking. The implement dealers have staff that is under utilized and the Combine is now ready for action. This John Deere 9400 shown with the Corn Header has been thoroughly cleaned and serviced.
