Farming the Old-Fashioned Way

The Roanoke-Benson FFA Alumni chapter recently hosted an antique tractor plow day in Roanoke, Ill. The event was a fundraiser to help the alumni provide funds to the local high school FFA chapter in the form of scholarships and assistance with contest fees and convention travel expenses.

Evergreen FS, Inc. donated fuel for all participating tractors. Despite chilly temperatures, 17 tractors plowed an entire 80 acre field. FFA members also ran a food stand during the event.
