Local paper the Cambrian News reported that the family-run dealership, with branches in Lampeter, Ceredigion, and Peniel, Carmarthenshire, has raised £5,250 for farming charity RABI with the proceeds of a tractor run, auction, raffle and donations.

The tractor run was held at Hafod, Peniel in Carmarthenshire on Sunday September 24 with 151 tractors taking part.

Guests enjoyed a hog roast after the run and were also entertained by Côr Tonic. A raffle and auction on the day boosted funds further.

The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution supports farming people of all ages in financial need. The Cambrian News says that over the last ten years, more than £1m has been paid out in the counties of Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire.
