Did you miss the International Harvester Collectors Club, 26th annual Red Power Round Up in Sedalia? Well, we at Missouri Rualist have you covered. I took in the show this June and captured some photos of the event. 

The Red Power Round Up brings together collectors to show and demonstrate International Harvester made products. International Harvester tractors, trucks, implements and engines made prior to 1939 were featured.

The 2015 show saw attendance of up to 20,000, from all over the United States, Canada and several foreign countries. There were more than 1,000 tractors, 200 scouts and trucks, 300 Cub Cadets, 100 engines and assorted memorabilia to be on display.

In addition, vendors were busy selling International Harvester parts, tractors, engines, trucks and other related items. The four-day event was filled with demonstrations using vintage equipment for threshing, corn shelling and baling.

The purpose of the International Harvester Collectors Club is to preserve the history of the International Harvester Corporation and its products. The International Harvester Collectors Club has 8,000 members worldwide and over 40 Chapters.  Chapters are located across the United States, Canada and one in Sweden.

Below is a photo gallery of the event. I hope you find some of your favorites.

About the Author(s)

Mindy Ward

Editor, Missouri Ruralist

Mindy resides on a small farm just outside of Holstein, Mo, about 80 miles southwest of St. Louis.

After graduating from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural journalism, she worked briefly at a public relations firm in Kansas City. Her husband’s career led the couple north to Minnesota.

There, she reported on large-scale production of corn, soybeans, sugar beets, and dairy, as well as, biofuels for The Land. After 10 years, the couple returned to Missouri and she began covering agriculture in the Show-Me State.

“In all my 15 years of writing about agriculture, I have found some of the most progressive thinkers are farmers,” she says. “They are constantly searching for ways to do more with less, improve their land and leave their legacy to the next generation.”

Mindy and her husband, Stacy, together with their daughters, Elisa and Cassidy, operate Showtime Farms in southern Warren County. The family spends a great deal of time caring for and showing Dorset, Oxford and crossbred sheep.
