As it has done every two years for close to a decade, McCormick International has donated the latest model of tractor to the Shenandoah Valley Agricultural Research and Extension Center (AREC) in Steeles Tavern, Va. Kevin Wittig, owner of Tractor Care, Inc., in Harrisonburg, Va., worked with the manufacturer to supply the tractor at no cost to the AREC. According to Wittig, the company provides the tractor to demonstrate its support of agricultural research and in recognition of the heritage of the McCormick Farm, a five-acre memorial plot at the AREC that pays tribute to Cyrus McCormick and the ingenuity of the McCormick family. Located in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, the 900-acre center performs research on livestock production, forages, and forage systems.
