Real Iowa Tractor Boy

Here you see an Iowa Tractor Boy with his family in a field of Soybeans. The Second Son is not quite tall enough to be totally visable.


Again, still in the Soybean Field. Here you see an Iowa Tractor Boy who is also employed by John Deere, Dubuque with his three Sons.

Of course every Iowa Tractor Boy that grows corn has to pose in the field such as the Baseball Players did in the 1989 "Field of Dreams" classic film staring Kevin Costner. Here is the Iowa Tractor Boy and his three Sons at the edge of the Corn Field.

For those who may not know, the film "Field of Dreams" was filmed in Dubuque County, Iowa near Dyersville which is about 25 air miles from the field where this picture was taken.

As a Former Iowa Tractor Boy, I will never forget the classic line from the film: "It This Heaven?" "No, It Is Iowa."





This Farm is near the Mississippi River just off of Kale Avenue in Clayton County near Guttenberg, Iowa. You will note that the crops are planted on the contour to help reduce erosion.
