Of Summer Days and Roadways

Summer/Life is short, so you just have to grab for all the entertainment you can get. A recent week brought the opportunity to visit yet another Ohio offering for those who enjoy tractor shows. Known by the catchy title “Darke County Threshers Reunion”, the group has their own showgrounds near Greenville OH, and a good deal of their display area is in a mature woods with lots of welcome shade.

No matter how many shows you may attend, there are always some new and interesting things to see. Our schedule took us there in the middle of the week, the first day of their show, so not a lot of activity was under way. Since Baker was one of their featured brands, they had requested one of Bill’s gas powered tractors to go with a considerable number of Baker Steam engines already on site.

In the course of the trip, we learned that the grass is not always greener on the proverbial other side, as the old saying goes, and we saw lots of drowned and very late crops in the Central Ohio fields. The creeks were still swollen and muddy from the most recent bout with heavy rains. Our travel day, however, was blessed with brilliant blue skies and dry comfortable air, which brought combines, grain carts and semi’s out into just about every wheat field south of the Michigan border. The countryside seldom looks nicer here in the heartland than it does in the month of July.
