Invest in Our Youth. Build the Future of Agriculture.

The Mille Lacs County Agricultural Society is raising funds for a new livestock wash rack to support the growing number of youth livestock exhibitors at the county fair and beyond.

These projects teach responsibility, leadership, work ethic, and animal care—skills that last a lifetime.

Every donation makes a difference! The Mille Lacs County Youth Livestock Foundation will MATCH all donations up to $3,000.

We welcome support from individuals, farms, businesses, and in-kind donors. Help us create better facilities for the next generation of agricultural leaders!

Step Back in Time at an Antique Tractor Display

The Mille Lacs County Agricultural Society invites you to visit our Antique Tractor Display during the Rum River Festival, June 4–7 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Explore a collection of historic tractors displayed in the cattle barn on the fairgrounds. Some of these machines are nearly 100 years old and helped shape the history of agriculture in our community.

A book with information about each tractor will be available so you can learn the story behind these remarkable pieces of farming history. Follow the signs from the main entrance to the cattle barn and take a walk through the past!

This display is a work in progress, and we're excited to share it with the public.
