Farming is just a “hobby” for Andrew Fox of Newmanstown, Pa. But his hobby has made him lots of friends with nice tractors.

Once a year, he and his group of friends get together at his small farm and bring their nicest tractors, from old John Deere models to classic Massey Harris tractors, for a little reunion of sorts. After a little lunch or dinner, the riders hop aboard their tractors and take a trip through the adjacent Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, enjoying nature and the sweet sounds of summer.

Look through the slideshow to see some of the tractors that were brought to Andrew Fox’s place this year.

Chris Torres

Editor, American Agriculturist

Chris Torres, editor of American Agriculturist, previously worked at Lancaster Farming, where he started in 2006 as a staff writer and later became regional editor. Torres is a seven-time winner of the Keystone Press Awards, handed out by the Pennsylvania Press Association, and he is a Pennsylvania State University graduate.

Torres says he wants American Agriculturist to be farmers' "go-to product, continuing the legacy and high standard (former American Agriculturist editor) John Vogel has set." Torres succeeds Vogel, who retired after 47 years with Farm Progress and its related publications.

"The news business is a challenging job," Torres says. "It makes you think outside your small box, and you have to formulate what the reader wants to see from the overall product. It's rewarding to see a nice product in the end."

Torres' family is based in Lebanon County, Pa. His wife grew up on a small farm in Berks County, Pa., where they raised corn, soybeans, feeder cattle and more. Torres and his wife are parents to three young boys.
