"Steve Sinisi of Old Crow Ranch in Durham was among dozens of farmers who paraded through the streets of Augusta on Wednesday on tractors bearing signs like 'Support Farmers, Not #Billionaires' and '#CompostTrump.'

"The more than 100 farmers and supporters were there to protest the millions of dollars in federal cuts to agricultural grants and programs and raise awareness about the impacts they would have on their farms and livelihoods."

A distinctly rural friend has just sent me a 5-minute video he made of a convoy of tractors decked out in Christmas lights. The lead tractor was towing a trailer carrying Santa Claus.

The only thing that went through my mind was, "is this Rudolph the Red-Nosed John Deere?"
