Fred (Red) Salisbury

St George - Fred (Red) Robert Salisbury passed away peacefully, while surrounded by his family, on, Sunday, January 5, 2020 at Dixie Regional Hospital in St. George, Utah. Red sustained a traumatic brain injury the previous day, while stepping off an excavator. He was doing what he loved the most, operating equipment and moving dirt. Red was born on May 3rd, 1939 at the LDS hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah to Wilford Gibbs & Lavon Emma Toone Salisbury.

Red grew up in Murray, Utah where he loved living on the farm, playing football, and working on cars. Red graduated from Granite High School in 1957, where he played football for the famous Lavelle Edwards. After high school, he attended Dixie State College in Saint George, Utah, where he was an All-Conference football player. He would also go on to play football at The University of Utah. Red married his eternal companion, Mary June Cash, on June 30, 1988, in Monticello, Utah and solemnized on March 17, 1990 in the Las Vegas, Nevada temple. June was the love of his life and his very best friend. The marriage created a large, loving family, with Red's three sons and two daughters and June's two daughters.

Red is survived by his eternal companion, June Cash Salisbury, of Washington, Utah. His children Doug Salisbury and his wife, Sandy, of Ely, Nevada. Cindy Yates and her husband, Craig, of Bountiful, Utah. Guy Salisbury and his wife, Camille, of Washington Utah. Phil Salisbury and his wife, Diane, of Central, Utah.

CCAMA Year End Awards For 2018

2019 Annual meeting, banquet and 2018 awards.

Hello everyone,

I really enjoyed seeing all of you at the annual meeting banquet and awards. I brought my deviled ducks eggs and there was ham, ribs, and chicken, potato salads, pasta salads, cookies, and cake. 

As I walked by Red Salisbury,
he struck a very nice pose. Click*

I gave Charles Canhan his DVD of all his pulls from 2011-2018 and also showed Rosemary Christensen her article here on CCAMA  in our series, Women on Tractors. Click on the  purple links below if you haven't seen the articles yet. 

Women on Tractors contributors:
Rosemary Christensen.

Junes Salisbury 


Here are the year end awards for 2018. 

Our President, John Kirkland gave me a list of award recipients. I was to locate photos I had of each person on the tractor they drove and preferably pulling the sled. Each photo needed to be turned into a pdf file. A pdf file is a file format that provides an electronic image of text or text and graphics that looks like a printed document and can be viewed, printed, and electronically transmitted. Then the photos would be printed on metal trophies.

Just a note:
I do really enjoy documenting, recording, and chronicling with my camera and with written testimony so those photos and videos I took were there for a good purpose. And that feels pretty good. And Bill DeSilva, our co-photographer, saved the day with his photograph of wife, Donna. Whew* 



Watch Video of the awards below. It is 11:35 minutes. 

See in the image below of (the video) June Salisbury and Rosie Kirkland are handing out the new trophies which had the winners' photo printed on them. There were holes in each corner for mounting on the wall. It was such a unique and different way to make trophies. You can see everyone holding up and showing off their award in the video.

Women on Tractors-Rosemary Christensen

Rosemary Christensen Pulling with her 1952 MTA Farmall.
Photo by Bill DeSilva

I so enyoyed interviewing, Rosemary. It was during the Iron County Fair while the tractor pulls were going on. We went out behind the grandstands and found a table to sit at. 

That look of Rosemarie's. She is so positive and focused. Photo by Bill DeSilva

I asked her how she got started driving tractors. Here is what she told me.

I was first inspired by my husband, David and my two son-in-laws. David's family used a little Farmall A on their farm in Salem, Utah when he was a kid.
When David and I were married in 2006 we bought a vintage 1952 Super MTA Farmall that someone restored mechanically.

  Red Salisbury, co-founder of CCAMA, and his grandaughter, stepped in to teach me how to drive the tractor and encouraged me to,  "keep on going."

Between 2001 and 2006, I would never have imagined my marriage to David, driving the tractor, and the life I have now.

CCAMA Caravan 2017 Photos

The tractor caravan pulled over after I took the first video. 

Riding in the tractor caravan on a wagon pulled by an Allis Chalmers has always been such fun. I love the slow pace, the wind in my face and the rugged jiggles and bucks of the wagon over the cow catchers. There is time to enjoy the landscapes and let your mind wander.  Taking a picture or a video was a bit shaky though and the view in front and back really did not change much.

This year I took my truck and followed the route of the caravan and took photos and video as they came rumbling up the Minersville Highway.  I stopped several times along the way pulling over to the side of the highway. I would get out of the truck hook my keys to my belt loops, grab my camera, and wait for the sound of the tractor engines. Many times I could hear them before I could see them. I love that sound. After they passed all was quiet. I could hear was the resonance of the earth and the denizens of the valley. 

My first stop was Minersville Highway at Mid Valley Road. I pulled over, got out, and walked around the corner onto the highway to see if they were coming yet. Way off in the distance I could see the flashing yellow lights of the two volunteer sheriff trucks which led the tractors and also brought up the rear. I had time to find my place along the highway and found that the marker stakes made a really good tripod. There was a field of alfalfa and wild sunflowers and the sound of the water spraying over the fields. 

CCAMA Tractor Caravan on Minersville Highway.

As they crossed the intersection they all pulled over. I passed them in my truck and drove to another place by a very picturesque abandoned farm with a rock fence bordering the property (see photo above).

My favorite photos are of the caravan approaching the Parowan Gap. 

You can enjoy all the Caravan photos I took here on this link  https://goo.gl/photos/7zprkxRKjZHetWkz8

Today on CCAMA we are featuring Nicholas Hall.

Nicholas is 10 years old and he is a natural. I wish you all could have been there to see him drive.

His parents Andrew and Kristin Hall were there to sign him up before the tractor pulls began. 

Everyone needs to know the safety rules so Paul Moen gives Nicholas the run down. Nicholas listens carefully...

 Nicholas gets a thumbs up for learning the safety rules.
