Watching, “This Week in Agri-Business,” yesterday, I learned something which made me chuckle. I am not old, I am “vintage.”
First of all, this is a fascinating show in the early morning hours, as well as educational. I couldn’t help feeling at home listening to farmers speak about crops, the FFA conventions, the adaptations being made with this pandemic. And then the little blurb about tractor restoration showed up.
A Minnesotan drove to Florida to obtain a vintage tractor to restore and enter in competition at the national FFA convention. He won! His tractor, forgive me – I was trying to tame my tresses and didn’t get the make and model – was a “vintage” 1977 machine. Apparently it was a stunner, returned to better than former glory. I learned I could tune in this fall for opportunities to buy vintage machinery, and if I had any, to please call in to get on the docket.
This machinery could use a little restoration. I’m thinking of putting myself on the docket.
