Iowa Farmers Take to the Streets

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Farmers in Iowa are showing off their most beloved possessions -- their tractors.

More than 500 tractors have been driving through eastern Iowa this week for the 10th annual Tractorcade.

Over the course of three days, the farmers drive their tractors from Dubuque to Dyersville and then back -- 75 miles round trip.

Farmers look forward to the event every year.

"It really expresses our freedom. … It's just a great thing. We just love it," said Jonathan Shaff, a farmer from Clinton, Iowa.

Organizers make sure to respect other drivers on the roadways. They divide the tractors into seven groups and put buffers in between them to cause the least disruption.
