Great interview, Levi!

While many kids are enjoying the rides at the Mississippi Valley Fair, one teen is teaching visitors about farming and caring for a 1,200-pound Charolais heifer.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the tractor pull. Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our volunteers, participants, and community members who make Eldridge Days such a special tradition.

A special thank you to our partners at Kuhn and the Eldridge Fire Department for their support and commitment to making this event a success. We appreciate all that you do for our community!

Congrats, Brooklynn!

We are proud to recognize Brooklynn Flenker of North Scott FFA as a recipient of the $2,500 Sinclair Tractor Iowa FFA Scholarship.

Brooklynn joined North Scott FFA after seeing the wide range of opportunities the organization offers, and she quickly found her place in events like Vet Science and the World Food Prize. Through these experiences, she says FFA has taught her the true meaning of confidence — pushing her outside her comfort zone, helping her connect with new people, and strengthening her passion for agriculture as “the backbone of our country.”

Brooklynn is the daughter of Nicholas and Melissa Flenker and sister to Bryce and Brock. This fall, she will attend Iowa State University to major in Animal Science on the pre veterinary track, with a minor in business as she works toward her future career in animal health.

Please join us in congratulating Brooklynn on her accomplishments and her bright future in agriculture.
