Unconventional Comedy Takes Center Stage at the Agricultural Extravaganza

Tractor Traffic Jams and the Symphony of Engine Revs

The Quad City Farm Show kicked off with a bang, or rather, a rev, as attendees found themselves stuck in the mother of all traffic jams—tractor traffic jams, to be precise.
