The 2021 Delo® Tractor Restoration Competition (TRC) is now open, and we plan to be in person for the finals in Indianapolis! Students do not have to have their Restoration Report or their video completed in order to register. The 2021 Instruction Book is available to entrants on the website, complete with updates, as well as updates to the overall program.
The competition deadline for all workbooks, videos and photos is August 16, 2021. Finalists will be announced September 8, 2021.
As always, the Delo TRC provides the opportunity for high school students around the country to compete for the Delo TRC Grand Champion title. Student teams of one or more will take an old rusty tractor that was once a vital part of farming and restore it to its former glory. In addition to learning valuable life and career skills, they’ll compete for up to $20,000 in prizes.
It’s not an easy venture. In addition to long days and weekends working on their project, students are often fundraising to raise awareness and support for what can be an expensive project. Many will reach out to Chevron Marketers for product donations. To support this program, Chevron provides assistance through Max Funds and Marketers are encouraged to be involved by helping with technical expertise when possible.
Finalists will go on to compete at nationals during the FFA National Convention in Indianapolis in October.
