I have no idea what poll you are referring to, or what region of the country. I'm in a dairy farming area of central New York state - soon to be a non-farming area.
I was on the road for years fixing farm and logging equipment all over the state, and sometimes in New Jersy, Vermont and Maine. Tractor populations varied everywhere.
