Farmall is now in the Guinness World Records index.

“This past weekend, 110 Farmall tractors showed up to the Inverell Showgrounds in Australia to set the world record for the largest parade of Farmall tractors in front of more than 2,500 onlookers,” CNH posted on its Twitter account.

The event took place on July 29 to celebrate 100 years of Farmall tractors. It included machines from the 1920s and 1930s to modern-day models.

Each tractor travelled around the 3.2 km (1.9 mi) track as Guinness representatives attended to validate the record.

“It was really exciting to be out there with so many other Farmall enthusiasts, and while we were hoping we could succeed in setting the record, you can never be sure, particularly when you’re dealing with so many vintage machines,” Tom Horwood, a local business owner, told Grain Central, an Australian publication.

Here are some other Guinness records set using tractors:

In July 2010, 1,231 tractors in Dresden, Ont., Canada, set the record for largest tractor parade and benefitted the Canadian Cancer Society in the process.
In September 2014, 115 Zetor tractors participated in a parade in Lithuania to set the record for largest parade of Zetor tractors.
In October 2016, Hubert Berger from Germany travelled 25,378.4 km (15,769.38 mi) through 36 countries on his 1970 Eicher Tiger II tractor. This set the record for the longest journey by tractor.

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
