You guys all hit the nail on the head (and yes, lobbying for the latest toy tractors was definitely part of the ritual!). There were always a few huge pieces of equipment for the "gee whiz" factor, but much of it was connecting to the average family farmer (160-220 acres the norm in my community). The scale was smaller but the farming was also much more integrated; the same guy who had real nice Allis or Massey Harris equipment also had a beautiful herd of Herefords, purebred Poland China hogs, etc. It made sense to have it at the State Fair because it all connected so much better with the farm families like mine who attended each year. Boy do I miss those days. You guys who restore tractors don't know how much joy you bring to the rest of us when we see one of your awesome displays at a county or state fair. Thanks!!
