Fairgoers will be in for some history, with humor, during the Iowa State Fair, when they see "Farmer Bob and Johnny the World's Funniest Tractor." Farmer Bob will have folks rolling in the streets with laughter when he starts up his 1949 John Deere MT. Johnny the tractor always puts smiles on everyone's faces with that familiar "put-put" sound. Some of Johnny's features include a skunk that sprays water, a big sound system, all sorts of sirens, horns, bells, and whistles, and some really surprising remote controls. Johnny even blows up balloons which Farmer Bob twists into all sorts of creations.
Farmer Bob, whose real name is Bob Hill, comes from northeastern Iowa, where he and his family have farmed for 166 years on the same homestead. Bob has traveled in 41 states and Canada, making folks laugh for the past 25 years.
When you are at the fair, be sure to see "Farmer Bob and Johnny the World's Funniest Tractor." You will see a sight you will never forget!
