Rhode Island agriculture is small in scale but historically significant. The state's farming concentrates in the southern and western counties — Washington and Kent — where dairy, nursery, vegetable, and the Newport-area equine operations make up the agricultural economy. Aquidneck Island and the South County coast support smaller diversified farms. Rhode Island's nursery and greenhouse industry contributes substantially to the state's agricultural output, with the West Bay area running specialty horticultural operations.
Tractor donations from Rhode Island skew toward Kubota and John Deere compact tractors common in nursery, vineyard, and small dairy operations. Massey Ferguson tractors from longtime Rhode Island farms are routinely donated. Ford and Allis-Chalmers tractors from the state's older operations accepted on the same terms as modern equipment. New Holland tractors from larger dairy and hay operations come in regularly. Specialty attachments noted with donations.
From large row crop tractors to compact utility units, combines to skid steers, every type of agricultural equipment donated from Rhode Island is accepted — running or not, with attachments or bare, stored in a field or in a barn.
