    I could watch and listen to old combines for hours. When I was a 10 year old watching a 95 harvesting behind my house...that was heaven.
    Also I had a lot of good memories of the steam engines running and threshing at the Canfield Fair. Along with a new at the time 7000 series pulling people out of a muddy parking lot.

    I also really wish I could go to this show also. I grew up on a dairy farm in the early 70's. We had a John Deere 4010, 2510 and an old M formal that actually ran over me when I was 7.
    Love watch my past, it brings back so many great memories.

    Great to see old iron working hard! This looks like a great show to attend. Just a reminder that the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion is happening over Labor Day weekend in Rollag, MN. Absolutely fantastic displays and demonstrations of old equipment being used….an outstanding collection of Steiger tractors is on display as well. I believe the featured equipment this year is Hart-Parr and Oliver…. I can hardly wait!

    1. i have a camper and considering taking it if i go more than a day, how is the over flow camping there on site. Is there electric or does everyone use gen.
    2. is a golf cart recommended, and if so, if i brought mine (its electric golf cart) is there a spot to charge if battery's need a recharge. i will have/ bring the charger from home?
    3. or is it better to bring a old John Deere two cylinder for the fun activity's with no plow?
    thanks for any pointers for a first timer at this show.
