The Story Behind ‘Old Glory’
Built by veterans for a veteran. In 2021, a group of Woods® team members with a history of military service assembled our limited-edition, red, white, and blue, 15-ft Batwing® cutter. Then on June 1, 2023, Woods delivered ‘Old Glory’ to U.S. Army veteran Sergeant First Class Joseph Burdulinski, ret. in partnership with the Farmer Veteran Coalition.

About Farmer Veteran Coalition
The Fellowship Fund is a grant program that provides direct assistance to veterans who are in their beginning years of farming or ranching. Since 2011, The Fellowship Fund has awarded nearly $4 million dollars in either equipment or financial support to more than 930 farmer veterans.
For 80 years, Woods Equipment has been built on the same values that define this country: hard work, resilience, and service. As we honor our 80th anniversary and look ahead to America’s 250th, we’re proud to stand behind the men and women who have served it. The Old Glory story is more than a piece of land or a project, it’s a reflection of our commitment to veterans, to legacy, and to the enduring spirit that keeps America moving forward.
