    Our school had it as well (pretty big event with 20-40 tractors showing up each year). As mentioned, some dumb rednecks attempting humor took it to extremes with mowers and the likes. One kid rode a tiller into school from 8 miles away. LMAO

    Pretty common in this here neck of the woods. Like it was said earlier most of the farm kids around here were driving tractors way before cars. I used to rake hay and spread manure for my uncle in his 4440 when I was 12. That said, accidents do happen no matter the age and skill level of the driver.

    31 people in a graduating class... That's crazy. Puts "everyone knows everyone" into a whole different perspective!

    How is it even worth having a operational school with that many people? One teacher for numerous grades I assume?

    Where/when?

    This event had gone on once a year for over 30 years. A tribute of sorts to the local farming heritage. Until yesterday it went off without incident. Dont know if Matt s pics show it but the kid hit two vehicles. Pretty safe to assume this event is over.

    I graduated in 2007 my class only 18 students and we had the largest class in that school to date. Town of 1500 pulling rural kids in for miles.

    What on earth were they doing that it damaged two cars that bad? We've had the same thing at our school for years and nothing has ever happened.

    We did it for FFA week every year. Never had a problem. I graduated with 21 kids in my class.
