Wealthy business owners or famers with large corporations support most tractor pulling teams. They like that the tractors carry their names in front of large audiences. Jim Martell says the pulling community is a closely tied community.
JIM MARTELL: “The camaraderie with the fans, and the other pullers, it’s one big family.”
The tractor pulling season will soon come to an end. One of the last major competitions takes place August seventeenth in Bowling Green, Ohio. However, pulling has become a worldwide sport. In September, a European championship will be held in Fuchtorf, Germany.

FAITH LAPIDUS: And now we take a look at a few of your comments about some of our recent stories.
Last month, Steve Ember told about the Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera. He remembered getting his first as a boy and it changed his life forever. He remains an enthusiastic photographer.
A listener in south India wrote to say he found the report “amazingly enjoyable.” He said, VOA has made it possible for us to lead a journey to our childhood through the camera. He added that he thinks history is best understood through photographs. Hail to the camera, he wrote.
Also last month we reported about some older Americans who were singing to improve their health. Jadwinga from Poland liked this idea. Jadwinga wrote I think it is nice and a good idea to work with old people. The program of singing and performing together makes them happier, healthier and more necessary.
