Tractor Color

Brandon Sweet, a senior at Essex High School, says this about his photograph: “I took the picture of the tractor because I am a farmer, and I love the look of old equipment. I see these things every day, and I wanted to view them from a different perspective. I work on a 700-cow dairy farm. We milk 300 of them; the rest are dry cows and heifers. Usually I milk cows. We milk in a parlor, not in tie stalls. In the summer I also get to rake hay and drive a dump truck alongside the chopper. I love everything on the farm, but I probably like the cows the most.”
