"Hey Dad, can I borrow the tractor?" "Yeah, but you have to wash and wax it first, I will help.." GO FFA! The best leadership training anyone can get! I feel the pride in the diesel growl. Kudos to the school system for the support they give. National Blue and Corn Gold!🇱🇷👍

I am glad those kids participated in that! I didn’t have a single student drive a tractor to school in our “Drove your tractor to school day” on Friday, so certainly glad to see those kids doing that! Good to see the girls driving as well! Great video!

I grew up In a farming community over 60 years ago. Our family never had a farm but I worked with my friends on theirs. Some of the most genuine and generous people I ever knew. I was very fortunate to get to be around them and this was like breath of fresh air for m and gives me hope about our future. I miss those days.

People with money, and those without much money. Still cool to see great young men and women still out there in this country!

Real good kids warms my heart to see this generation so respectful!

I graduated back in 2018, I was frustrated that I never was able to drive my tractor to school cause the district banned it when I was a freshman. It was something I had always looked forward to. Just a sign that my little farming community has turned into a suburb. However I am glad to see that there are still communities that embrace it.

“ yessir “ that makes me happy to here respecting your elders is still alive here in America. It’s usually the heartlands of this country. Very much enjoyed and appreciate you sharing this !

Always loved this day when I was in high school. I finally got to participate my senior year with a brand new 6175r from the Deere dealer I worked for. Unfortunately I had the quietest tractor of the lineup but we all had a great time

Awesome sight to see these young men and women keeping farming and those classic tractors alive.
Thanks Jason for all you do.

[jimpeters]

The politeness of the gentleman you interviewed by saying " yes sir" impresses me. Too many young people don't show much respect.

This was always my favorite part of the school year. I drove from 2001 to 2005 . Drove our Ford 8000, Farmall 706, International 3688, Allis Chalmers 8050 and a ford 6600

Lucky kids and very polite. The FFA chapter I was a part of, many years ago, we didn’t have a tractor drive. That would have been a great activity to have.

It's nice to see kids that can speak plainly and more than 3 words. All the "yes sir"s is definitely a southern thing. I'll take the Farmall B and little old Ford.

Love to see it! Our chapter was never allowed to do a drive your tractor to school. The administration called it a traffic hazard.

[johnmarshall]

My home chapter still participating in tractor day for the 50th year. Back in the day I drove a Farmall "M" one year and my uncles IH 1086 which was their primary tillage tractor in the '80's. Great to see these kids participating in this tradition. The school I'm at now has a robust FFA program but doesn't do the tractor day event. Great kids! Love the flags btw! :)

Very cool! It was really nice of those farms to donate tractors for use to those that didn't have one. Kudos to them. That 4960 was the first one I have seen in a long time on YT that was set up with the correct wheels and tires so that it didn't have a rearward slant like most do. That is exactly how they came from the dealer back when they were new. The one I rode around in was just like that, and it was only a year old at the time. That NH T 300 was very sharp. So was that old Magnum 7120. Those Magnums and the 4960 JD are some of the best looking tractors to ever work a field IMO.

America baby. Thanks for helping feed America

[timjorden]

Awesome
They should do this everywhere

[edwarddavis]

I enjoyed seeing all the kids and their tractors and I thought the older Ford tractors were a special treat. Where I grew that’s all we had. There was only a Ford dealer in town. So it’s always nice to see those.

Awesome seeing this again brings back memories.
