American agriculture is on full display at the nation’s capitol.
It is part of the American Enterprise exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Curators say the goal was to show farming within a broader industrial environment, noting agriculture can be connected to everything.
The exhibit includes working farm machine models, including the 1918 Waterloo Boy, one of the first tractors ever made.
The Museum says there is often a large disconnect between rural and urban America, and they are hoping the exhibit will bring on some change.
