Chapter #21 met yesterday and there is a lot of excitement over RPRU2026. We were honored to have two national directors, Doug Hrbek and Jim Brewers, with us. Many members from North Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota also made the trip to visit with us. 2026 will be the 250th anniversary of our United States of America. International Harvester is always the main theme of any SD RPRU. Patriotism and everything IH will be on display. Steiger became a part of International Harvester. Never before has the big four wheelers story been told. The current Case/IH four wheel drive tractors of today are now manufactured in the original Steiger plant in Fargo, North Dakota. The Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion, in Rollag, MN is planning a Steiger feature in the future. The Steiger Heritage Club has been formed to tell the story of the brand and will be at RPRU2026. Check them out at www.SteigerHeritageClub.com. The Nebraska Cowman says he can fill the huge new DEX Center with IH's. Bus tours to Mount Rushmore, the Black Hills and the Badlands are being planned. A bus tour is being planned to tour the Fargo, ND Case/IH four wheeler assembly plant in October 2024. More info to come. There will be a lot going on at RPRU2026. Plan on attending and don't miss out on all the great times. PS: The North Dakota/Northern Minnesota chapter of the IH Collectors Club has recently disbanded. If you are one of those people who lost their chapter, you can sign up with any other active chapter. This way you will still receive Harvester Highlights and info from that local chapter. You can also have dual membership with as many chapters as you wish with only paying the national membership once. You can find an application on Facebook at SD #21 IHCC if you want to sign up with South Dakota.
