Keeping the Heritage Alive

The rumors are true – next year will be a four-day show! Our 55^th annual Threshermen & Collectors Show will feature the Old Power Round-up and Wheat Run on August 6-9, 2026. Directors Brady Bonin and Grant Stein had the idea to do a unique feature event like this and have been working on it for several years. What is unique about this idea is that all makes will be a part of the feature rather than the typical focus of just one make of machinery. It will highlight the big power used on the farm prior to the 1930s. Visitors can expect to see big and small steam engines, huge prairie tractors, and much more. In the field you can expect to see around 20 combines running to give a visual of what a custom harvest crew might look like. In our threshing area, we will also demonstrate what that might have looked like pre-1930. You can expect to see around 7 separators threshing wheat to bring the wheat run to full circle. As the combines harvest, you can also expect to see the rakes, balers, and plows following up. This will truly be a show you won’t want to miss!
