Flat Roman on the Farm

Flat Roman (1) is now in Tilton, Illinois.  He is visiting Nathan and his family.  Their first adventure was to visit his grandpa's farm.

Flat Roman and Nathan on the tractor.  It was coooooold!

It's hard to see Nathan with Flat Roman between the tractors. The tractor on the left has a field cultivator behind it. The tractor on the right has the planter behind it.

Nathan is showing Flat Roman the planter. That long arm thing folded over the top unfolds out beside the planter. It marks the ground so Nathan's grand-dad can see where to go when he turns around at the end of the field. The boxes hold the soy beans. The beans come out below them and the chains drag the dirt back over the seed.
