Iowa Tractor Boy Habitat
When one thinks of Iowa they usually envision flat land with acres of corn as far as the eye can see. This image was taken on July 2, 2008 in North Dubuque County in the town of Balltown, Iowa. There is an overlook on the North side of town. The elevation is 1200 feet and the view is toward Wisconsin. The Mississippi River is just over the horizon. The Brother of the Former Iowa Tractor Boy treated all his Siblings to a Great Supper at Bietbach's County Dining, Iowa's Oldest Bar & Restaurant in Balltown, Iowa.
An Iowa Farm boy from 1940 until 1961 when I joined the Navy. When I was a Farm Boy I was involved in 4-H Club work and I participated in Future Farmers of America while I was in High School. I have fond memories of being a Iowa Farm boy. I am also very proud of my Iowa Farm Boy Heritage.
