Our Facilities Team and Power & Equipment Club were out having a little fun in the sun today! They spent the morning binding wheat with our heritage binder, as we get ready for threshing at Applefest this September. It’s not every day you get to see these old implements still doing exactly what they were built to do! 🌾
