It’s always inspiring to see those who dedicate their lives to agriculture recognized for their impact. Recently, the National Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, Kansas, welcomed three remarkable individuals: Michael Hinton, creator of Antique Tractor Preservation Day; Sonny Perdue, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture; and Wendell Murphy, North Carolina swine producer.

When you ask Michael what Talking Tractors is all about, his answer comes with both a smile and a deep sense of purpose. What began as a boyhood fascination with agriculture has grown into a life’s work dedicated to honoring the legacy of America’s farming heritage.
