A dream became reality for a 4-year-old farmer-in-training with brain cancer.

WATERLOO, Iowa — >> Watch the news report from KWWL

According to KWWL, Aiden Remme of Brewster, Minnesota, has been fighting a brain tumor since his diagnosis earlier this year. Despite undergoing chemotherapy, Aiden's tumor has grown. 

The news was hard for Aiden.

"One of his big things he was worried about was that he wasn't going to be able to combine with his papa," his mother, Tracy Remme, told KWWL. "He loves farming."

Touched by Aiden's story, staffers at John Deere invited Aiden to Waterloo, Iowa, to become boss of the manufacturing company for a day.
Aiden even got to wear "a special hat that said 'the boss' and a little ID that said his name on it," Tracy Remme said. "He was pretty excited."
