The Genesis Of An Iowa Tractor Boy



As I view this image I recall my own youth on an Iowa Farm. It was always exciting and interesting to watch My Dad and My Uncle perform Farm Task. This is an image of one of my Nephews Sons, as he is also engaged in the same activity. His Dad is operating the Harvestor as his Uncles perform the necessary transport of the corn to the dryer and elevators.

2011 Corn Harvest


Kale Avenue


Clayton County, Iowa









I believe that this series of images tells the complete story. As you can see the gentle slopes of the land certainly support farming on the contour to prevent erosion. The Iowa Tractor Boys are busy with the harvest as they complete another year of tilling the land that supports the lives of so many people. In fact the figures from the U. S. Department of Agriculture establish the that one U. S. Farmer supports the food needs of 140 U. S. Citizens. This statement is based on data determined in 1997. I suspect that the figure is even more today.

Stocking the Locker



Iowa Tractor Boys know that if they plan on enjoying meat during the year they harvest the Deer every Fall.


The Hills and Valleys near the Mississippi River in Clayton County, Iowa provide an abundance of Deer each Season. Of course the corn crop helps feed these deer out so that they provide plenty of red meat.


This is probably one of many deer that will be harvested by these young men and their siblings this Fall and Winter in Clayton County.

The Tractor Boys Farm Home


On September 9, 2011 the Mom of several Iowa Tractor Boys took several images of flowers that surround the Farm Home.







Of course every Farm Home needs a Dog as the Farm/Family Pet.

Iowa Tractor Boys


The "Hunt"



The Hunt in Colorado for this Young Iowa Tractor Boy was very productive. This Tractor Boy is employed by the John Deere Corporation in Moline, IL.


He is also involved in a Farm Operation in Clayton, County. As everyone can appreciate, even Iowa Tractor Boys need a break from the routine. In an earlier post to this Blog you saw younger Iowa Tractor Boys with the results from their Pumpkin Hunt. Here you have the opportunity to view the results of "Bigger Boys" and their Hunt in Colorado.
