N-P FFA member makes splashy fair debut
When Shane Hillesheim saw the tractors his 1957 Oliver Super 55 was up against, he had hope.
“I didn’t think I’d win it, but I thought I’d finish right up there,” the Nashua-Plainfield High School senior said. “There were a lot of good tractors, a lot of tough competition, but I felt I was up there with some of them.”
It turned out that Oliver Super 55 wasn’t right up there with the rest of them; it was better than all of them as he was named champion of the Iowa State Fair’s Restored Tractor by a First-Time Exhibitor last Friday.
