Multiple Annual Tractor Drives Raise Funds for Cancer, Community Causes Across US

Several tractor drives and related events are being held across the U.S. and in the UK to raise funds for various charitable causes, particularly cancer patients and local community organizations. In Decatur County, Indiana, the fifth annual Memorial Tractor Drive honors the late Dick Kunz and raises money for cancer patients at Franciscan Health Cancer Center. Similarly, in northeast South Dakota, the sixth annual Tractor Drive for a Cure honors local cancer heroes and supports Codington County Cares, a foundation aiding cancer patients with expenses. The East Central Benefit Tractor Cruise in Wisconsin raised funds for area schools, food pantries, and the Boys & Girls Club of the Tri-County Area, having contributed over $320,000 since 2009. In the UK, the Big Tractor Run in Calderdale is set to support Overgate Hospice with a planned route through the local communities. Meanwhile, innovative farming equipment like the world’s largest grain cart, featured at the Farm Progress Show in Illinois, is being equipped with fire-fighting capabilities to help manage increasing field fire risks amid drought conditions.
