After more than a decade of displaying an extensive collection of tractors, trucks, farm machinery and more, the owners of the Farmall Land USA Museum, near Avoca, are retiring. Jerry and Joyce Mez own and operate the museum. They plan to close the doors near the end of the harvest season, in late September. The museum, which started out as an Avoca implement dealership that was purchase by Jerry’s father Max, in 1943, has more than 225 pieces in the collection, including various ag-related toys and advertising.
