Two farms in Haverhill host tractor pulls already to help bring people in. [Reply]  [No Email]

There would be no room at his son Steve's farm stand but I would think that Richard would have plenty of room up at the farm. " I think the farm stand and the farm are adjoining properties. Anyway, Richard's Pick-yer-Own operation is probably insured. I was thinking he could place the meet in the field on the other side of I-495. Sometimes it is fallow and other times it is planted in corn. That pasture by the Rt 125 connector is another site. Not sure if it is dry though. The club collects admission at the Dublin site. I think they might sell alot more tickets with the show visible from the Interstate and easy access. Add a couple of pulls and tractor games. Get TV channel 5's Chronicle to film it for next year. They could grow that meet into something bigger. I suppose a few purists wouldn't like it but I think bigger shows are better. There's alot of people who like bucolic settings and activities. Look at all the tourist interest in Maple Sugar making and fall leaf peeping. [Reply]  [No Email]

You could maybe catch a ride with Gary. Or even bring your own tractor to enter. [Reply]  [No Email]

He has about 20 IH tractors. Think his latest is a IH 300 Hi-Clear. Be nice if he hosted the New England Chapter IH Collector's summer meet. I'd haul a few tractors over there. 15 Interstate highway miles. Not interested in trucking tractors over the Monadnocks in NH. The coverage he carries on his retail farm stand could easily be modified to cover the meet. [Reply]  [No Email]

He sold out to a Pole named David That was nearly 50 years ago. [Reply]  [No Email]
