2008 Farm and Tractor Shows Judging from the last couple of years, this was one of the most popular pages on the Steam Trains and Tractors webpage. I decided to again put up a schedule of Tractor Shows. Some of these may be listed as Antique Shows and some as Thresherees. Whatever they are Tractor shows are a great way to enjoy the horsepower, that actually replaced horses. Find one in your area and check it out. This guide was put together from the RFD-TV magazine listing in the January/February 2008 edition. This year RFD-TV changed the format of their listings by going to Farm Shows and a much shorter version of Antique Tractor Shows. I am will try and combine the two and make the list as accurate and helpful as possible. WARNING - I am not responsible for changes in dates, locations. Also I try to be as accurate in my typing as possible, Sometimes I make mistakes if you see an mistake please let me know so that I can fix it. January 2008
