By leaving your tank completely dry it is forming rust while empty caused by condensation.
If you would leave some ethanol in the tank it would absorb the water and hold it in suspension. While in suspension and surrounded by gasoline it would not form rust.
Then when starting the tractor the little bit of water in suspension would go through the carb and be burnt with the ethanol blend and would never form any rust.
I have tractors sitting with 2 year old 10% ethanol in them and start them from time to time and never have issues with rust or clogging of the carb.
A Farmall 300 that I bought 15 years ago had issues with rust when I got it plugging the screen on the sediment bowl. I cleaned it maybe 5 times and just kept running E 10 in the 300 and now it may set for 6 months and start right up and run fine. And the rust is gone.
Once you guys run enough e 10 to clean the old crud out of your tanks your issues with E 10 will subside.
