Heritage Tractor Adventure

The eighth annual Heritage Tractor Adventure was held June 6-10, 2009 through the Heritage Corridor, along the I & M Canal. Participants drove their antique tractors nearly 150 miles over the course of the event.















This year, 217 tractors took part in the drive. The gasoline and diesel fuel was donated by GRAINCO FS, Inc. and tractors were fueled on site by GRAINCO employees Brent Ericson, Mark Hansen, Rich Henry, Larry Mattison, Lisa McDonnell, Cornel Recknor, Robert Rosengren, Jim Snyder, Jim Thomson, Mark Tuttle, and Tom Wallace.






















"In other tractor drives, the fuel is not supplied, and it makes for some logistical challenges," said Mary Beth DeGrush, Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau vice president and event coordinator. "We greatly appreciate GRAINCO's involvement, and I know our drivers do, too."



Brad Eike, Heritage FS, Inc. Energy Management Specialist, drove his 1966 Minneapolis Moline M670.


"This tractor has been in my family since it was new, and it's never used anything but FS fuels and lubricants," he said.
