Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Badger State Tractor Pullers (BSTP) will be hosting a tractor pull in Watertown, Wisconsin during the same week as Wisconsin Farm Technology Days (WFTD), July 21-23. People looking to go to both events can show tickets from WFTD to get $2 off tickets at the tractor pull Wednesday evening, July 22, at Badgerland Park in Watertown.

BSTP and its parent organization, Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League, together hold 400 pulling events around the Midwest every year. BSTP classes include pro stock tractors, super farm tractors, light limited super stock tractors, pro farm tractors, 466 hot farm tractors and 4x4 super stock trucks.

"Pro stock tractors is the most popular pulling event in the nation," said Greg Elsing, president of BSTP. "Badger State Tractor Pullers is the only pulling organization in Wisconsin that offers this class."

BSTP competes in various elite pulls, including the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky.

WFTD is the largest outdoor farm show in the state. This year's event is at the Crave Brothers Farm located in Waterloo, Wisconsin at the southern edge of Dodge County.

The annual three-day event showcases the latest technology in production agriculture to approximately 80,000 visitors.
