The Ag Mechanics Show at the Oklahoma Youth Expo featured over 152 entries, up 50 percent from 2021. As a result, the competition was more significant and intense than ever before.
The Grand Champion exhibit, a tilt bed multi axel trailer, was exhibited by Woodland FFA. Teammates were Josie Dossier, Landee Dossier, Trista Kelly, and Danner Lessert. The Reserve Grand Champion exhibit of a grain tender belonged to Brayden Rexford of Frontier FFA.
Projects are organized by category and size, and they vary from wildlife displays, trailers, decorative pieces, and more. Now several of those projects are up for grabs on Big Iron Auctions.
Farm Director KC Sheperd Spoke with Mark Stock, Co-owner and founder of Big Iron Auctions. He says what makes big iron unique is the fact that they use an internet program that allows bidders from across the nation to purchase and help producers find good items, "We cover the truck world, construction, and the Ag world with providing no reserve auctions and no buyer fee auctions to buyers who are looking for good quality equipment that the owners themselves represent."
Big Iron Auctions has a long-standing relationship with the Oklahoma Youth Expo because they love what FFA and 4H Teaches, "We are strong supporters of FFA and 4H because we like the aspect of those programs. And we like how it teaches leadership skills and how it opens youth to the world of Ag and beyond. And this is just another way we can help support FFA and 4H."
Stock said he has loved watching bidders who have strong ties to FFA and 4H Bid across the states because even though they may not be local, they still love to support great organizations, "All the proceeds go back to the chapters that make these items and 25 items are submitted from students that are involved in FFA and 4H across the state. They work hard on these projects throughout the school year."
This year, there are some great items up on the auction block, including cattle working tubs, hydraulic hay buggies, utility trailers, bail grabbers, and more, "They have those squeeze chutes; they've also got fire pits. They've got duck blinds and deer blinds. They've got pellet smokers. They've got a three-foot by eight-foot shop table that is mouthwatering." And Stock said it's not just farm equipment but also someone of a kind items, "They've got Dog Kennels; there is an 11-foot gazebo that's going to sell. So 25 items covering a full gamut of Ag and some of these hunting and recreational things."
The Auction is on April 13th, and All the available items from the OYE Ag Mechanics show are up on the Bigiron website by clicking here:
Outside of the Youth Expo, Stock said they also offer helpful ways for producers to sell their farm equipment, "We have a little over 300 sales reps all across North America right now, and that's what we do. We go see folks that have equipment they want to sell, and we do all the work. We'll take all the pictures, document the description, and have the seller review it. Then, we'll publish that information on our website along with the owner's name and phone number so the public can call them because we want everybody to be comfortable with the process. We like people comfortable with the item that they're bidding on."
Stock said his goal is to make sure buyers and sellers have an honest, enjoyable experience when buying or selling, and BigIron prides itself on doing just that. For More information on buying and selling go to BigIron.com
