Marshalltown to be host community for 2023 WHO Tractor Ride

The WHO Tractor Ride is coming to Marshalltown!

Hundreds of tractors and their riders will make the Central Iowa Fairgrounds their home base and travel to surrounding communities and back to Marshalltown for three days from June 19-21, 2023.

“It’s an opportunity for us to experience a new part of Iowa and some of the most beautiful agricultural landscape,” said Scot Knock, organizer of the event. “We are excited to bring our group to Marshalltown and the surrounding communities as part of our 26th annual event.”

This will be a huge economic impact to Marshall County as many of the riders will stay overnight in our hotels and visit our restaurants and businesses. 

“We are very excited to be the host community for the WHO Tractor Ride,” said Andrew Potter, Tourism Director with the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce. “The Marshalltown area has a strong agricultural heritage and we have welcoming people who will enjoy hosting this wonderful event.”

Stay tuned for more information on the ride including the announcement of the surrounding communities the riders will visit and more. The event is led by WHO Radio and was announced live on 1040 WHO on Friday, February 10.
