NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UTIA) — Tennessee agriculture was on full display at the state’s Spring Crank Up Tractor Show. From vintage tractors to live demonstrations, the event gave attendees a hands-on look at the state’s farming heritage.
The Tennessee Agricultural Museum, which hosts the show, draws about 15,000 visitors each year and houses more than 4,000 artifacts.
Exhibit and display coordinator Buddy Woodson says the event brings together agriculture from across generations.
“We’ve got many, many years of agriculture represented here, and that’s the purpose of it,” Woodson says. “So, we invite members from all the local tractor clubs to come. They can fellowship with each other. They can display what they have been working on.”
He says events like this also help raise awareness of the museum and its exhibits that highlight the country’s role in shaping agriculture.
Young exhibitors balance school and months of preparation as they compete at one of Texas’s largest livestock events.
