John Deere is 2024 Feature

Visitors can expect to see a sea of green as the Northwest Iowa Tractor Collectors take over the feature area and organize the John Deere feature. Tractors highlighted for 2024 will be the line of New Generation tractors.

Also showcased on display and working in the field will be a line of rare unstyled and styled John Deere tractors.

The club, which started as the Northwest Iowa Two-Cylinder Club in 1991, has a membership of about 125 enthusiasts that now represent all makes of tractors and machinery.
The Northwest Iowa Tractor Collectors are an active club with regular monthly meetings, an annual tractor ride, and they organize the tractor display at the Clay County Fair among many other activities.
The last time John Deere was featured here was in 2014 with 350 registered exhibits. For the feature in 2008, there were over 200 John Deere exhibits.
