Collecting Farm Toys
This div will be replaced
Happy New Year. 2008 is shaping up to be another exciting year for farm toy collectors. This year is The Toy Tractor Times 25th Anniversary in covering farm toy news.

Our big news for January is an informative Ask Ertl feature previewing exiting new farm toys for 2008.

Our theme for this issue is all about collecting farm toys. Our authors share stories on their collections and unique interests. There is a variety of collectible farm toys to read about.

Toy Tractor Times TV has a great video on the Dream Cattle Company display and on the making of the 100,000th Axial-Flow Combine. The CaseIH video ties in with my own interest in collecting special CaseIH models like the 50,000th Magnum and 40,000th Steiger toys.

Stefanie and I are excited about the St. Louis Toy Show coming up in the first weekend of February. We plan to introduce the 2008 Toy Tractor Times tractor at the show. We also look forward to meeting many of you and covering all the events at St. Louis for the February Toy Tractor Times.

Until Next Times……

Jason and Stefanie Hasert
