Farmers from Tyrone, Haydon, Enniskillen, and Enfield decorate their tractors and machinery once a year as a thank you to the local community for sharing the roads with slow moving vehicles during the year. 

Thank you to all participants and spectators! It was an awesome show this year!

Technology transforms traditional family farming

Farms today are rooted in tradition, with many working hard to keep generational operations alive. But technology has become essential to soil, seed and watering processes.
