     There are rows of tractors parked at Vinton-Shellsburg High School -- and you will probably see a machine or two in area business parking lots before and after school -- as V-S FFA members participate in their annual Tractor Day. The FFA students do this one day each year, one of their many efforts to raise awareness of the importance of agriculture.
