For news, information, and behind the scenes stories about the show!

Man, what a show it was! Despite heavy rains, 2009 set new records for attendance and mahcinery on display. What will 2011 bring at the show? Well we don't really know either, but it will be grand!

Static displays, parts vendors, flea market, and of course the nearly 200 acres of cropland to be harvested and tilled during the show make this a show that has to be seen!    No other vintage power show comes close to this one! Nowhere else can you see vintage machines strut their stuff in real life field conditions as they were built to do, and not just for a few minutes at a time. From the earliest days of tractor power to the horsepower explosion of the 1970's, it will all be represented here and at work in the field, not just sitting and looking pretty.

We are also recognizing the contributions that FFA Members and Alumni have made to the constant improvement in agriculture technology.

Start making your plans for 2011 now, get out the map and plan your route to Rantoul and get those reservations early! And, if you want to bring your machine to display, or to work in the field, come on over, there is NO pre-registration or pre-acceptance required at this show!

See you at the show!
