Combine Derby - Only in Iowa!

So Noah's farming partner for the second year in a row participated in the Boone County Fair Combine Derby. It's like a demolishion derby only with combines! Only in Iowa would something like this could be considered entertainment! Talk about farm life at its best! (Totally kidding.)

Last year, Caleb finished 2nd! This year, a disappointing 5th out of 8. But we had fun watching. Enjoy the photos below...

Caleb going head to head with the guy who won last year in Round 1.

Following Round 1 - participants gets 30 minutes to fix what they can and get back in the ring. So Caleb had a full pit crew there to help. Here, John Henry is welding something back on.
