A long cavalcade of modern and vintage farm machinery large and small took to the roads for a tour of the countryside, setting off from Scredington Community Hall at 10am on Sunday.

They returned there to follow up throughout the afternoon with a family fun day.

The young farmers raised the money by charging entry for each tractor driver and passenger on the run - to include a bacon sandwich on arrival.

It is a new club, having been revived after the demise of both clubs over the last few years.

Club members said the tractor run was an amazing success and thanked everyone who helped including the community hall committee, volunteer marshals and all the club members.

They even had local people come out to support them and a generous donation from a Scredington farmer.

Some of the vintage tractor owners said it was the best tractor run they had been on.

Lincolnshire YFC County Rally is being held on Saturday, May 18, at Revesby Estate. It is a fun day out for all the family with lots of things to see.

This year there is even a dog show.
