TOMAH, Wis.
Tractor enthusiasts from all around the nation traveled to Tomah on Friday for the annual Budweiser Dairyland Super National Truck and Tractor Pull.
It has been a yearly competition ever since it was started by the Monroe County Agriculture Society in 1976.
They started out small, but the event has now become one of the largest tractor pulls in the nation, drawing an estimated 60,000 fans every year.
Ken Veney has been competing in tractor pulls for decades, and to him age is just a number.
"I don't want to be like most 84-year-old people and sit around a nursing home. I'd rather put forth a little effort and feel like whether I do good or bad I come out and I be competitive, and feel like I've accomplished something," said Veney.
The event brings an estimated $15 million to community businesses every year.
