Rustred, The practice of driving back with plows out of the ground is often done in the Midwest.

Wasting of fuel? Maybe, but no more than having parades, tractor shows, car shows, etc....most of us can afford that little bit of fuel while having a lot of enjoyment. I am sure every driver in that video is happy at the chance to join in the fun.
