HEATH Seventeen farmers paraded their tractors in the Franklin County Farm Bureau’s Back 40 Tractor Ride last month, as part of the Franklin County 4-H Fair in Heath, with five going home with prizes.
One aim of the tractor rides is to give farmers a chance to create a conversation with the public about farming.
“This ride placed tractors, which are an economic image of farming, in front of the public,” said Franklin County Farm Bureau President Lenny Roberts. “By allowing consumers to get up-close to these machines and talk to farmers, we created a platform to answer their questions and build a relationship that will last a lifetime.”
