AG 450 FARM HELPS BOY FULLFILL MAKE-A-WISH
DREAM
Sean Dyson, a 13-year-old from the Emmetsburg
area, has always been fascinated with large machinery and grain
harvesting. Sean, who was born prematurely and has developmental
disabilities, has had a dream to help with fall harvest and ride
in a combine.
That wish was granted last when he visited the Ag 450 Farm. Greg Vogel, Ag 450
Farm ag specialist, said Dyson rode in a combine to harvest soybeans.
Dyson also rode in a John Deere 8430 tractor with Isaiah Shnurman, a senior in
Agricultural Studies, to plow part of a harvested field. The Make-A-Wish
Foundation had contacted the Agricultural Education and Studies
Department last summer to set up the visit. (additional photos) |
