Each organization has been recommended an amount of $500.

LONDON, Ohio — There were three machines at this year’s Farm Science Review that definitely had people talking — and you can’t use them in the field.
Showing the farm show gawkers that new chrome can be just as exciting as new paint, three custom-built motorcycles drew a crowd at the Beck’s Hybrids and DeKalb exhibits at the Review.
Anniversaries
DeKalb commissioned Paul Teutul Jr. , part of the father/son team made famous in the Discovery Channel’s American Chopper reality TV show, to create a custom-built bike for its 100th anniversary.
An online auction for the bike will begin in January, and the winner will receive the chopper at the 2012 Farm Progress Show in Iowa. All proceeds generated from the online auction will be donated to the American Red Cross.
Beck’s Hybrids is celebrating its 75th anniversary with not just one, but two, choppers built by Paul Teutul Sr.
One is a unique “reverse trike” motorcycle, meaning there are two tires in the front, and one in the rear. According to Teutul, CEO of Orange County Choppers, it’s the first reverse trike motorcycle in his company has ever created.
