Preserving and Celebrating Iowa's Farm History

Gifts Come in All Sizes

 

Carstens Farm received a great gift from Jim and Janice Boysen of Shelby, Iowa.  They had purchased a John Deere D tractor in the past and knew that it had originally been owned by Heine Carstens.  They decided it was time the tractor came home and generously donated it to Carstens Farm.

Thank you to
Jim and Janice
for their thoughtfulness and generosity.

Like all old tractors, the D needed some repairs.  The Board members contacted Jack Beck of Weeping Water, Nebraska.  Jack had previously worked on some of the Farm's old tractors, and once again, he jumped right in.  He picked up the D and took it home to start working on it.


A couple of weeks prior to the 2016 Farm Days Show, Jack brought the D home.  It now runs better than ever, and the Farm is really enjoying the tractor.

Thank you to
Jack and Judy Beck
for all of your hard work
and your continued support
to the Farm.

The D tractor will be on display at the 2017 Farm Days Show which will feature John Deere D's, GP's and other John Deere tractors.
