Grab your favorite toy tractor and hook up the wagon or plow. Add a few toy cows, pigs and chickens from the shoebox barn and, you’ve got your own little farm! Today we’re joining John and Pat Klettke, who turned their love of farm toys into an 8’ x 24’ farm showstopper. The diorama showcases 60 plus years of changes on the farm. There’s a machine shed, crops, barns and a rotary milking parlor that actually rotates!

With “Creativity” as his middle name John remembers how they made corn kernel windrows on Mom’s kitchen floor. Turned Pringles cans into silos and chicken waterers into grain bins. Listening to their tales might just have you searching in the attic for that old box of farm toys – waiting in some dark corner. With carpet for roads, grass for haystacks, and a little imagination, we remember playing while growing up, down on the farm!
