Women assembled for a Tractorette School at Nodaway Co. Implement Co., an International Harvester dealership. Instructor and dealer John Schneider is conducting an outdoor lesson on the four stroke engine. A Farmall tractor is parked outside the storefront. The company announced the "Tractorette" program in 1942. The plan was intended to address the farm labor shortage created by U.S. war mobilization. The plan called for local dealers to offer free training for thousands of farm women and girls in the operation of tractors and other farm machinery.
