Last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Beck’s Superior Hybrids held its annual Becknology Days at the plant near Atlanta.
Several pieces of equipment were available as rewards. Of course, Case equipment was displayed as well.
The Remnant Trust had a display of historical documents relating to the founding of the country and ancient copies of the Bible. American Revolution-era reenactors were also present to display historical artifacts.
