Absolutely.  Dax is a well known collector here in northern California,
especially among John Deere people.  He's a good guy, nice writeup about
him.   John

> DURHAM -- Most farmers are in the business because they enjoy the way of
life. Working with the soil has rewards those not in the industry would
likely need to take some time and thought to completely understand.
>
> Durham farmer Dax Kimmelshue spends a fair amount of time on his tractors,
and when he's not cultivating or harvesting crops, he's toiling on one of
his antique tractors.
>
> Visitors at the Durham Harvest Festival every fall have likely seen the
results of Kimmelshue's efforts. He regularly brings a few of his restored
machines to show kids and grownups what farming was like back in his
grandfather's day. His machines are also featured in the Durham parade.
