"Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm" aka The Wondeful World of Gourds
One of the perks of my job is that we get to do fun stuff thanks to the Fun Committee. This afternoon we went to the NC State Fair for a few hours. I had a Philly Cheese Steak, some fries, and funnel cake. Yeah that's a lot of food. Here are a few pictures of price winning vegetables and gourds, yes I said gourds, giant pumpkins.

You are wrong Mr. Tompkins.
Chalmers tractors are way cool... I mean, just the name is totally awesome!
John Deere is toolish.
I vote for Chalmbers tractors.
Or old ones that aren't toolish.

But nothing runs like a Deere!
Katie, you are a traitor. Remember the toy tractors we played with at Grandmother's? Definitely John Deere.
That's true but I am biased now. :) Anyway, the farm actually uses IH tractors so there are lots of choices.
I'm still going with A-C and International. My grandparents owned a A-C and IH dealership in Burlington for about 40 years so I've got family ties to the tractors. John Deere got big because of their financing deals and management but for years and years they McCormick later to become International and Allis-Chalmers led the way to food for Americans.
So booyah.
