The Half Century of Progress celebrates 50 years of farming. This year the Earthquake will be featured. This massive tractor sports a 12V Detroit engine and stands a whopping 18 feet wide and 14 feet high. Darius Harms, chairman of the Half Century of Progress said, “Come feel the Earthquake in Rantoul.” Besides Earthquake, the focus will also be on machinery and implements from 1963. Vintage equipment performing field demonstrations and static displays will be available.
