The Award was announced at the national cerebration of farmers, National Farmers Day, at Wenchi in the Brong Ahafo Region.
President Kufuor received the keys to the tractor and expressed gratitude for the gesture. He promised to follow the farmers' cue and to invite them soon after his retirement, to visit his farm.
