What an event! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make our 3rd annual “Pulling for Agriculture” event such a huge success on September 19th! We are incredibly grateful to all our pullers, volunteers, sponsors, and the amazing crowd who came out to cheer them on.
A special thank you to our sponsors! Your generosity helps make events like “Pulling for Agriculture” possible and allows us to continue supporting our Clinton County Farm Bureau Foundation Scholarship Program. We truly appreciate your commitment to our community and local agriculture.
A BIG thank you to the Clinton County FFA Chapters for running the concessions and serving everyone throughout the day — especially in the heat! We appreciate all of the students, advisors, and volunteers who worked hard to keep things running smoothly. Your help did not go unnoticed!
We had an incredible 124 tractors compete for bragging rights across 20 different classes, including:
- 80 King of Clinton County hooks

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work, dedication, and support of so many people. We are truly thankful for everyone who played a part in making the day a success!
