Hallelujah and saints be praised - tractor parades are now legal in the state of Missouri. Newly elected Governor Jay Nixon this afternoon stood out on the south lawn of the Missouri Capitol next to a 1951 John Deere (made in Waterloo Iowa mind you and owned by a Tipton MO man)and heralded the grand news that - yes indeed folks, tractors can now be driven on Missouri roadways for fundriasing purposes. But only during daylight hours though.

YEEHAW, MA, it's time to ride.
I think we should have a parade down St. John Avenue to kick off the Northeast Festival this year, and we should bring some tractors in honor of this new legislation!
Why did we need legislation to have a tractor parade???

Apparently there was some provision in the law that tractors could only be driven on state roads while they were being used for agricultural purposes--basically it was only technically legal if they were being moved from one field to another.
