Eugene and Bonita Harke are both retired teachers.  They both still substitute teach just enough to remind them why they quit.  they farm 480 acres of wheat.  They summer fallow about half so it amount to about 240 acres. "Farming can sometimes get in the way of our fun!" chuckles Bonita.  Their fun being, garden tractor collecting. 

Eugene and Bonita joined Little G in 1999. They are familiar faces at Little G Expo and can found at shows in Pawnee, OK. For Red Power Roundup, they have traveled to Portland, IN and Springfield, OH. They've hauled their trailer to John Deere shows in New York; Lathrop, MO, Adrian,MO; and Otwatta, KS. Harke's have also attended a Wheel Horse Shows in Pennsylvania, Waverly, NE; Sulphur,OK; Cashion,OK; Terrell, TX; Florida Fly wheelers, Dothan, AL.  While they don't make it to all the listed shows every year,  they enjoy going to 5 to 7 a year.  They also wave their in 5 or 6 parades each year. 

Harke's have two children.  Their son is single and lives in San Antonio, TX. Their daughter and son-in-law live in Marianna, FL.  Eugene and Bonita have been blessed with 5 wonderful grandchildren.   Ages 15, 13, 10, and the twins are 7. 

"We love to go to tractor shows to meet all the nice people.  Every place we go we see people that we have seen before and of course meet new people.  We always have to go a long way as there are no shows in our area."  Bonita adds.
