We had great turnout at Nelson’s Produce Farm for our March Meeting. Around 50 people listened to Tyler and Pam share their story of raising numerous forms of produce from seed to market. It was very interesting to hear all the effort and time it takes to raise the crops. It’s not always as easy as it seems. Chances are the produce you buy at roadside stands came from their farm.

EVAPA will again partner with Nelson’s for their truck and tractor days on September 19th and 20th 2026. Please make plans to bring a tractor or two to the farm to show them off for the weekend. Details will follow.

Plans are underway for our annual show at the Sarpy County Fairgrounds. The show will be August 1 & 2, 2026 and will feature 1940’s era tractors, trucks, military equipment and related items. It won’t be limited to those years so plan to bring anything you’ve got.

EVAPA has an opportunity to provide several tractors at an upcoming Strongman event to be held in August at the Ralston Arena. They will be looking for a smaller tractor around 2500-3000 lbs and also a larger tractor 6000 lbs or above. It will be a one-day event and would be great exposure for the club. We will have additional details soon.

EVAPA will hold their annual show at the Sarpy County Fair on Aug 1 & 2. Although we have given our oats ground back to the fair board this year, you can see below what it looked like in the past. This will be brome grass this year to feed the livestock at the fair. The threshing machine will still be on display for a close-up view of how the separation of oats from the chaff took place many many years ago.
