Tractor dancing

On the news this morning, they showed a town in Iowa which has a Tractor Dancing group… Square Dancing with tractors. To allow for the tight turns, they all use trikes (Farmalls). So now there are ten-thousand-and-one practical uses for your tractor.

Ha! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Just last week we had a peek at the combine demolition derby in eastern Washington on the toob. No headers were installed and it really looked like fun. Probably won't see this done with the tractors, too many to restore.

The artical reads:
"Eight farmers in the town of Nemaha, Iowa (population 112), have taught themselves to perform various square-dancing routines (do-si-do's, promenades, etc.) while seated on and precisely maneuvering their tractors, according to a June San Francisco Chronicle dispatch from the heartland. However, an apparent problem for the farmers is that all are males, while square-dancing is a couples activity. Thus, four of the dancers operate their tractors while in calico skirts, under the apparent belief that cross-dressing is more acceptable than having an overtly same-sex dance partner."
I don't think I would be caught dead in a skirt! Let the tractor wear it!
