I am heading for the Ferguson Expo in Booneville Mo on Sept 6th-7th and not returning home until 15th, I hope to travel into Kansas,Oklahoma,Texas and back up to St Louis.....Question what is there to see in these areas at the time I am visiting? I am looking for state or county fairs, other tractor shows or salvage yards or even tractor collections(especially Ferguson stuff!) Even a rodeo or tractor pull would be good or a visit to an agricultural machinery factory(Hesston?) etc.

Just getting off on some of the back roads in southern Mo is a trip. I don't even know where to start we've seen so many things down there. Around Mansfield,Mountain Grove,Cabool,West Plains area,knockout scenery. There was an old Oliver dealer just south of Cabool,way back in the hills called Bar-B-Tractor. Don't know if it's still there or not,Massey dealer now if it is there. That place was like an Oliver museum.
I'm thinking it was on 17,just on the west side of Huston Mo,there was a jockey with a lot of parted tractors. If you take 17 out east of town through Summerville toward Eminence,there's a place called Alley Spring. Huge spring that flows 80 million gallons a day.
If you drop just down in to Bull Shoals Arkansas,just east of Mountain Home you can take my all time favorite cave tour,Bull Shoals Cavern. I'll hook up a link to a bunch of cave tours down there,but Bull Shoals is on private property and the guides are pretty entertaining on top of it being just the best cave I've ever been in.
My advice,just hit the back roads and stop as often as you can at local places. You'll love it.

Check out Har Ber Village in NE Okla. tons of pioneer farm equipment and a vast collection of antiques. If you want brownie points with your gal(s) try Crystal Bridges art museum in Bentonville ,AR, just across the Oklahoma line.
