To celebrate its 60th anniversary, the City of Derry Young Farmers’ Club will use a 1961 Fendt Farmer for a 24-hour ploughathon, before auctioning the tractor off to the highest bidder.

The Fendt Farmer rolled off the production line in the year the Derry club was founded. It will be piloted by club members during the event, which takes place on 10–11 September.

The club plans to hold the auction a week later via Richard Beattie Livestock sales and Marteye, with the proceeds going to Northern Ireland Air Ambulance.
