Idea details:
My dad is a farmer. I used to count the steps on each piece of machinery. I would tell my mom that Grandpa's combine 2 less steps than dad's combine. The swather has 4 steps and the John Deere baler tractor has 3. The Deutz tractor has only 2. And the old putt-putt John Deere has only 1 large step. It is cool to count them. I did all of this counting when I was in Kindergarten and my mom was at work and I had to help dad with harvest when I wasn't at school.
