NEW HAMBURG -- A caravan of nearly 50 antique tractors will putt along a 23-mile route Saturday in Scott County.

"We're going to have all kinds of sizes shapes and colors," said ride organizer and farmer Elmer Kenkel of New Hamburg, who will drive a 730 Case tractor in the ride.

The open-cab tractors will be driven by area farmers -- many of whom will be driving tractors that have been in their families for generations. Among the models and brands slated to be featured are John Deere, Farmall, Ford and Minneapolis Moline.
