Trucks, Tractors and Tools October 19, 2010

Why does a tractor have two big, big tires and two teensy, little tires? How does the tractor run the hay baling machine? What did farmers do before they had such useful machines? Join us as we go on a search for trucks, tractors, and tools around the farm and see the important jobs they help us do. We'll meet our Tractor Driver and others as we get a behind the scenes look at some of these mega machines! - - All ages welcome; up to three children per adult.
