A tractor that starts with a shotgun shell, vintage tractors, a manure spreader and other ‘old’ farm equipment can be seen next weekend in Andrew County.

The Agriculture Heritage Day: Vintage Tractor & Ag Show will run from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 10 at the Andrew County Museum. The vintage tractor show will feature Allis Chalmers, Cockshutt, Coop, Farmall, Field Marshall, Ford, International, John Deere, Mayrath, Minneapolis Moline, and more. In addition, the museum said tractor enthusiasts can explore items in the toy tractor exhibit in the Duncan Gallery. Visitors will also be able to watch demonstrations such as horse shoeing, spinning, and using an old press to make apple cider, and enjoy some live music.

There will also be children’s activities, such as stick horse races, playing in the ‘corn box’ and trying out the pedal tractor obstacle course. A‘Super Farmer Kid’ contest will be held starting at 3 p.m. Kids ages 5 and under, 6-8 and 9-11 can participate in a set of four activities. Call the Museum at 816-324-4720 with questions or to register for the Super Farmer Kid event.

The final activity, a ‘power ride’ (short tractor parade) will leave from the museum at 4:45p.m. Anyone wanting to register a ‘vintage’ tractor can call the Museum at 816-324-4720 or Jan at 816-262-5178.
