March to the beat of the drums and sound the 76 trombones…  1040 WHO Radio has announced its 18th Annual Tractor Ride will be based out of historic River City! Latham Hi-Tech Seeds is a proud sponsor, so make plans to join us June 22-25 as we traverse the beautiful North Iowa countryside.

Applications are available now, and you won’t want to delay in completing one as only 400 riders will be accepted this year. With so much to see and do in North Iowa, you won’t want to miss it! Mason City is the hometown of Meredith Willson, who composed The Music Man. Mason City is also home to Prairie School Architecture with several community buildings, including the Historic Park Inn, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Just down the road in Clear Lake is the iconic Surf Ballroom and the site where Buddy Holly’s plane crashed.
