Rustred, The practice of driving back with plows out of the ground is often done in the Midwest.

Wasting of fuel? Maybe, but no more than having parades, tractor shows, car shows, etc....most of us can afford that little bit of fuel while having a lot of enjoyment. I am sure every driver in that video is happy at the chance to join in the fun.

We have a local plow day with pre-1960 tractors, last year over 50 old tractors showed up, about 150 people come to watch, local 4-H serves food and drink, we get donations and also sell videos of our big day and give all the funds to ag-related charities in our area.
The 4-H keeps their profits...I always say that group is the richest 4-H club for miles around!
