Shifting the tractor into gear, the vehicle started moving forward slowly. As I continued to shift up the gears the tractor continued to increase in speed. After a little while we had finally made it into town. “Now for the hard part”, my father said. I had to maneuver the tractor onto the scale so that co-op could take a measure of the weight. After I pulled off the scale, I next had to pull a U-turn and driving into the unloading bay, where the co-op worker would open up the wagons and let the corn pour out into the augers below.

Taking it slow, I pulled forward until the worker signaled me to stop. He unloaded the wagons. After he was done, I pulled out of the bay and back onto the scale for the last
