Minnesota's Annual Antique Tractor, Threshing, And Farm Shows

If you've never been to an antique tractor or steam-threshing show, you really don't know what you're missing out on!

Even if you're not a farmer, many of these shows offer a fair-like atmosphere with food and crafts as well as the opportunity to see the wildly impressive technology of the early years of machine-powered farming.
