Went to the world's largest county fair Saturday, Clay County Fair In Spencer, Iowa. They claim it is the second largest display of new farm machinery in the midwest (behind the Farm Progress Show). I think it is much better, as it is a Fair as well as a machinery show--meaning there is livestock, non-farm stuff (boats, campers, pre-fab houses, consumer-type stuff for sale, etc).
Saw a $320,000 FWA Fendt tractor, the new Deere planter (48 rows), Bobcat's all-new design (way ahead of the competition), bought some tools, saw a large display of antique iron (tractors and implements), watched some kids work with their hogs and calves, ate too much great food, and had a fabulous time!
I've been to Farmfest (MN), Husker Harvest Days (NE), Iowa State Fair, Minnesota State Fair, and the Farm Progress Show (Iowa and Illinois), but this beats them all HANDS_DOWN!
If I have a good week and get a lot done in preparation for harvest, I may go again. Hats off to the people of Spencer, Iowa!!
