Vinton Today

This is one of the oldest tractors driven to school on Friday.
Red tractors...
... and green ones inspired discussion and passers-by on Friday at VSHS.
VSHS FFA members drove their tractors to school Friday morning for the annual Tractor Day.

Green? Red?

The Vinton-Shellsburg FFA/Ag students debated their favorite tractor colors and manufacturers a bit more today, as they participated in their annual Tractor Day.

A total of 21 tractors, ranging from nearly-new large four-wheel drive models to the half-century old two-cylinder antiques, filled the north end of the VSHS parking lot as the students gathered to discuss their machines and pose for a photo.

At noon today, they will drive their tractors around to the shop area of the school to test their tractors' PTOs.
