Combine Rides
October 13, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Combine ride registration is now CLOSED.
Want to ride in a combine and watch corn being harvested? Now’s your chance!
Farm Bureau is coordinating combines rides with local farmers in mid-October. Rides will be given in cornfields located in the Sycamore area. Farmers will share information about field corn harvest and technology from their seat atop a modern combine, which is a harvesting machine. Interested persons will sit next to the farmer in a seat to view harvest, ask questions and have some conversations about food production. Rides will be limited to one pass across the cornfield and back. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. A limited number of rides will be offered on Saturday, October 13. Rain date will be on Sunday. Participants will be assigned times and locations for the rides.
Participating farmers: Glenn, Dale and Justin Bolander, Diehl Farms, and Carl Heide
