A team of University of Manitoba engineering students is back from Peoria, Illinois.  Rusty Graham, along with 2 classmates, were competing in a quarter scale tractor design competition organized by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.  He says it was a learning experience, and it opened his eyes to fact there's no one standard design for a tractor.  The U of M team's best showing was in the ease of manufacturing category where they were ranked 10th out of 29 teams.  Graham is looking forward to next year's competition in Minneapolis, and is ready to implement what he learned this year.
