You know how to polka , but never tried it sober.

You know what knee-high by the Fourth of July means.

You know it is traditional for the bride and groom to go bar hopping between the reception and wedding dance.

You know the difference between "Green" and "Red" farm machinery, and would fight with your friends on the playground over which was better! (By the way everyone knows RED is Better)

You buy Christmas presents at Tractor Supply..

You spent more on beer & liquor than you did on food at your wedding.

You or someone you know was a "Cheese/Corn Queen" at the county fair.


You know that "combine" is a noun.

You let your older brothers or friends talk you into putting your tongue on a steel post in the middle of winter.

You think Lutheran and Catholic are the major religions.

Football schedules, hunting season and harvest are all taken into consideration before wedding dates are set.

A Friday night date is getting a 12 pack of beer and taking your girlfriend shining for deer.

Saturday you go to your local bowling alley.

There was at least one kid in your class who had to help milk cows in the morning... phew.

You have driven your car on the lake.

You can make sense of "upnort" and "batree".

Every wedding dance you have ever been to has the hokey pokey and the chicken dance.

Your definition of a small town is one that only has one bar.

The local gas station sells live bait.

At least twice a year some part of your home doubles as a meat processing plant.

You think that the start of deer season is a national holiday.

You drink pop, not soda.

But why would you call a soda that is a different flavor/brand Coke? Is Sprite Coke? What about Root Beer or Dr. Pepper? Then again, I'm sure Coca-Cola doesn't mind if you call Pepsi Coke...😉

Over the years, I've lived places where soda was called soda, soda-pop, and pop...but only Coke was ever called Coke, except as a generic term for colas.

Because it's all coke. All of it. That's just the way it is.
 
red is farm-hall later international
we had yellow tractors here too if your old enough

and if your really old enough you remember some of the small town breweries that gave it up in the 50's thru the 80's, these were not the present day micro brews, a few are still going but they got bigger
 
Yellow...my dad has a couple of Minneapolis Molines out in the shed. 😛

I'm from suburban (almost rural) Minnesota, and that pretty much all fits. LOL
 
my grandpa had a jet star 2 or 5, my uncles have it now that he gone
my other grandpa's cousin who live 2 miles from us had 2 minnies, they were older models, but I am not sure what they were "Z" I think and maybe a R or U

growing up as kid we had:
AC model B, C and WD
JD model A
farmhall model H

my dad still has a farmhall H (a different one)
and a case 930 gas
 
Case used to be orange too, well the bottom half at least. although they're all red since they joined with IH.. and that joined with new holland.. and.. yeah.
 
those pretty much all apply to indiana too. some minor differences. i've never been shining for deer and i never met any of the corn queens from the county 4-H fair. 🙁
 
Most of those apply to Arkansas and Missouri to.
Its orange around here. kubota is kicking greens butt around this here parts. 🙂
