Are you a beginning farmer, urban farmer with compact space, or rural landowner looking for a tractor solution to fit your specific needs and budget? Join the Small Farm Outreach Program for a workshop demonstrating how two-wheel walking tractors can be the perfect solution for starting your farm or increasing productivity in your garden. We’ll have a hands-on demonstration of the two- wheel tractor operating various mowing and soil-working attachments, and
an overview of maintenance for these machines. Charlotte Maitland, a Virginia small-scale farmer and representative for BCS America, will lead the workshop.
