A local farmer will play host to the Practical Farmers of Iowa field day.

Jill Beebout, of Blue Gate Farm, will host the field day on Sunday, May 21, from 2 to 5 p.m., on her farm in southern Marion County.

At the field day, Jill and nationally known antique implement expert Jeff Lauber, of Columbus Junction will share their experience using vintage-era two-wheel tractors, a tool once common on small farms across the U.S. and still used in Europe. Beebout and Lauber will discuss their implements, as well as the benefits and challenges of specific models for vegetable production.

The event will also feature a demonstration and hands-on portion where guests will get to try different models out in the field.
