MANITOWOC, WI – Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is excited to present Wheels of Agriculture, a special holiday showcase of tractors and farm equipment, open December 20, 2024 through January 4, 2025. This exclusive exhibit is included in the price of general admission to the discovery center.
Wheels of Agriculture will feature a range of impressive machinery, each with special uses in modern-day agriculture. Machines on display include a John Deere front end loader tractor on loan from Riesterer and Schnell, a Manitou agriculture telehandler courtesy of D&D Equipment, a CAT compact wheel loader, and a Polaris Ranger UTV loaned from Gruett’s Power Center. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore this cutting-edge farming equipment up close and learn about the important roles each piece plays on a farm.
The machinery will be displayed both inside and outside the building. Guests who visit for the showcase will have the chance to touch and feel the equipment, climb on the machinery, and capture family photos.
“Big equipment is needed for big jobs on a farm,” shares Abigail Winkel, Farm Wisconsin brand manager. “We are thrilled to showcase several specialized pieces of agriculture machinery this winter break, and hope families will take the opportunity to visit our temporary exhibit while their kids are off of school.”
The Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is open Thursdays through Saturdays, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. General admission tickets can be purchased in advance at farmwisconsin.org.
