One of the celebrities at the Michael Peterson/New Holland Celebrity Tractor Race on Sunday was Billy Yates. He had a great time and I’m very glad to have met him.

He took a few moments for an interview. Like many that I spoke with, he’s driven a tractor growing up, but not one as nice as the competition New Holland Boomer used in the competition. As you can hear in this sound bite he thinks marketing a tractor brand to country music fans only makes sense: Billy Says It Makes Sense (21 sec MP3)
