2022 DeWitt County Farm Bureau Tractor Drive Album
Thank you to everyone who was able to come and join us! The weather tried to literally rain on our parade this year, but thankfully we were able to make it still happen! We truly had an amazing day! The money that was raised will be going towards our growing Ag in the Classroom program and scholarship foundation to help fund the future of our local agriculture industry by assisting students studying agriculture or ag-related trade.
