In this day of precision agriculture you can still go old school at a show like the Wisconsin Farm Technology Days.

Although the 2008 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days taking place in Brown County will showcase the latest technological advances in agriculture, it will also pay tribute to the technology that helped farmers increase their productivity in the early 20th Century. The farm expo will include a Heritage Machinery area, featuring classic tractors, implements and other machinery, according to John Schmidt, the show’s Tent City chair.

“This equipment really helped build America’s agricultural industry, making our farmers the envy of the world,” says Schmidt. “That’s one of the reasons why collecting and restoring vintage tractors and machinery is growing in popularity.”
