Tractor restoration is a competitive sport and the “Super Bowl” of the competition is the 2009 Delo Tractor Competition by Chevron. The event will take place during the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis with 12 competitors.
Since 1995, the Delo Tractor Restoration Competition has rewarded the determination, mechanical skills and business savvy of high school aged FFA members from around the country. Through the restoration of an antique tractor, participants develop skills applicable to the modern business world. The skills needed for success in the program – equipment maintenance, teamwork, project management, budgeting, planning and marketing – help develop the participants into future leaders in the agriculture community.
