The Tennessee Young Farmer of the Year receives his prize!

You may remember this farmer! We had Derek Giffin on the Rural Evening News a few weeks back to talk about becoming the Tennessee Young Farmer of the Year! This week he got the prize he told us about.

As state winners, the Giffin’s receive a year’s free use of a brand new Case IH tractor for up to 150 hours. Congratulations Derek and happy farming!
