This museum was established on July 1, 1992 to promote the abiding principles of its founder, Sugano Farm Machinery MFG., Co., Ltd., that remain unchanged since the company’s founding and to promote the significance of agriculture as well as the importance of the relationship between soil and humans. The museum also aims to serve as a forum for contemplation on the importance of food and the natural environment surrounding soil. Displaying farm equipment used by those who reclaimed the land of Hokkaido and soil monoliths (specimens) collected in Japan and elsewhere, the facility enables visitors to learn about soil characteristics and hardships involved in land and soil improvement. Displayed in the Tractor Museum annex are numerous tractors dating back to the dawn of agricultural mechanization.
