The Green Girl weekly web column by Brenda Kruse

July 17, 2000

Formerly on FieldReporter.com

Here she comes!

Starting in August, Field Reporter.com will be the home of The Green Girl, a weekly column on John Deere collectibles.

Brenda Kruse, author of "Bleeding Green," will apply her own style of smarts to bring you an insider's view of the fun--and fakes, frauds, and foibles--of collecting some of the ag classics.

This week, we kick off our welcome to Brenda with a short sampler of green links.

First, for collectors, there are the obligatory links to clubs--like the Two-Cylinder club, publisher of "Two-Cylinder"--and other ageless iron--and tin--resources like this massive antique tractors directory at the search engine Oingo.

Finally, when not collecting antiques, you can enjoy John Deere art by R.L.Crouse and and John Deere racing, with racer Chad Little, who drives the John Deere car in NASCAR races. Little's car, however, is definitely not two cylinders; it's a 725 hp V-8.
