It's a tribute; it's a reminder; and it's a local civic movement created to remind motorists to watch for agricultural machinery on the roadway. Tractor Town Macomb began as an organization just two years ago after Macomb-area farmer Tim Sullivan was struck May 22, 2019, on U.S. Route 67, north of Macomb, as he drove his tractor northbound on the four-lane highway. He passed away the following day.
