RFD-TV's 'Successful Farming Machinery Show' to film at April 13 Hess auction near Hamersville
WRFD-TV will be filming footage for upcoming programming in Brown County at a Hess Auction Co. farm equipment auction for its "Successful Farming Machinery Show."
The farm equipment auction, which will begin 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 13, is an absolute auction, selling the property of longtime Farm Bureau member Richard Bissantz, who is retiring from farming.
Among the machinery sold will be trucks, tractors, a combine, a dozer, a sprayer and other farm equipment, along with antiques.
RFD-TV, "rural America's most important network," features programming centered on agriculture, equine, livestock auctions, rural living and country music and entertainment.

RFD-TV personality Orion Samuelson appeared in Highland County earlier this year, as he was a featured speaker at the Highland County Chamber of Commerce's "Agriculture Is Everyone's Business" program at Southern State Community College.
For the April 13 auction, Greg Peterson, known as "Machinery Pete," will be filming the event for a future "Successful Farming Machinery Show," to be aired on WRFD-TV.
According to www.rfdtv.com, Peterson "is the man farmers, dealers, and agricultural bankers have depended on for nearly two decades to determine dollar values on farm iron. Peterson compiles actual sale prices from 750 auctioneers and dealers across the U.S. On this show, he boils the data down and adds invaluable insights for buying and selling used farm equipment."
Peterson also writes his "Machinery Pete" column for Successful Farming magazine.
The auction will be held at 1334 Sodom Road in Hamersville, eight miles northwest of Georgetown and four miles southeast of Bethel. The property is located one mile west of Hamersville at the corner of state Route 125 and Sodom Road.
