A local farmer will play host to the Practical Farmers of Iowa field day tomorrow.
Jill Beebout, of Blue Gate Farm, will host the field day tomorrow from 2 to 5 p.m., on her farm in southern Marion County. Jill as well as nationally known antique implement expert Jeff Lauber, of Columbus Junction, will share their experience using vintage-era two-wheel tractors, a tool once common on small farms across the U.S. and still used in Europe. The event will also feature a demonstration and hands-on portion where guests will get to try different models out in the field.
