"Toy Farmer" Magazine I had no idea that Toy Farm Tractors collecting was a big thing

If it's been made either in small quantities or in the millions, no mater what “it” is someone probably collects “it”. Even after something that was a fad to collect there’s still people who are collecting those items. I’m sure we all know someone with a Beanie Baby collection. I’ve collected a few Pet Rocks just because I was fascinated by them being a fad in the 70’s. Farm toys and tractors are no exception of the things people collect.

I had toy tractor in scales of 1:16, 1:32, 1:50, and 1:64 as I was growing up. Every birthday, Christmas, and John Deere day I was probably having at least one little item added to my collection. Turns out keeping all my toys was a good idea as my toy cars and tractors I had as a kid turned out to be scale for my future Lionel and American Flyer collections. When it comes to transportation there’s not a lot I don’t collect in some form. Trains and cars make up the majority of items sitting around my house but there’s no shortage of trucks, farm equipment, ships, aircraft, or military vehicles around either. All from items intended to be toys only to items made specifically for the adult collector market.
