Twelve runners represented agriculture this past weekend on a more than 200 mile run through California wine country in the annual Ragnar Napa Valley relay.

The “Farms & Legs” team, organized by Case IH, started out Friday morning from Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and ran 36 legs for 34 hours to wind up in Calistoga near the northern border of Napa Valley. Team members included Case IH employees, agricultural media and other members of the agricultural community, including former NAFB president Mike Hergert of Red River Farm Network. “The event was a big challenge, but all involved had a great deal of fun,” said Dan Danford of Case IH. “We’re already searching for another unique relay for the team to conquer next year!”
