Love this story in the Chronicle-Telegram about Oberlin, Ohio high school students who trek to school once a year aboard their farm machinery.
How cool is that? The coolest car anyone drove at my high school was an old hearse painted green. But I digress.
About 20 students drive tractors to Firelands High School during the annual Future Farmers of America Tractor Day. The high school has celebrated agriculture and ag education for more than 50 years. In addition to the tractor commute, the school sponsors Barnyard Olympics…including pedal tractor races, a tug-of-war and a straw bale toss.
National FFA Week was Feb. 16-23.
There’s a great photo of Farmgirls Samantha Miller and Jodie Crawford, seniors who drove their tractors this week.
Both plan to continue living on farms after college!
