The 6th Annual Tractor Trek had 65 tractors participate in a 45 mile journey across three counties (Boone, DeKalb, and McHenry). Each driver received refreshments, donuts, a t-shirt, a hat and lunch. Conserv FS also provided drivers with an end of the day refueling. The program was designed to raise awareness of agriculture and raise funds for McHenry County Farm Bureau's Ag in the Classroom program.
All of the proceeds from this event were donated to McHenry County Farm Bureau Agricultural Education Foundation. The event was co-sponsored by McHenry County Farm Bureau and McHenry County Antique Farm Equipment Association.
