Garrett Hartke Wins FFA Drawing

Garrett Hartke, the son of David and Korrie Hartke of Teutopolis, was the winner of a 1948 Farmall Cub. The antique tractor was donated by Central Illinois Ag, in Atlanta, IL for Illinois FFA Chapters to raffle. This tractor was restored through the Parkland Diesel program in Champaign, Il.

IL FFA chapters throughout the state were given the opportunity to sell raffle tickets with 100% of the proceeds going toward the participating Illinois Association FFA local chapters that sold the tickets. The Teutopolis chapter sold tickets throughout the year at basketball games and other events. Statewide, FFA members raised over $17,100. The winners were drawn at the 88th Illinois State FFA Convention in Springfield. Garrett was in attendance at the convention when his ticket was drawn from the thousands of tickets sold.
