Hutson covers 58 counties in its fully contiguous AOR, encompassing southern Indiana, western Kentucky, southern Illinois and parts of Tennessee. A bus hauled nearly 40 farmers from the northern locations. The event kicked off right on time at 3:00 p.m. and groups rotated via hayride pulled by, you guessed it, John Deere tractors.
