Albaugh Farm Auction Recap from March 9, 2024 Auction
Local Community Rallies Behind Albaugh Family at Emotional Farm Equipment Auction
Owosso, Michigan: A large crowd of friends, family and local farmers gathered at Albaugh Farms this past weekend for a farm equipment auction. In light of her late husband Tom Albaugh’s passing, Renae Albaugh hired Miedema Auctioneering to conduct a live auction at the farm.
In the weeks leading up to the auction, the community showed their love and support for the Albaugh Family as many friends and family gathered to help prepare the equipment for the auction.
The rain on Friday and Saturday made it difficult, even the auction truck had to be towed by the John Deere 3020 in the barn. The rain, however, did not stop the community from showing up to the auction on Saturday morning, as trucks and trailers filled the farm and even continued to overflow down Baldwin Road. Online bidders from across the country also participated in the auction via online bidding.
The auction began at 10AM and was over by 12:30, with over 400 people in attendance and over 650 registered bidders online worldwide. The large crowd stayed until the end of the auction, and was a testament to the condition and care of the equipment on the farm and the support of the local community for the Albaugh Family. Tom’s early career was spent as a mechanic with John Deere, and he took immense pride in the meticulous maintenance and cleanliness of his equipment.
