The High Plains League affiliate of the Moline Greens, the Threshers are located in Topeka, a venerable town of the Great Plains offering Midwestern ethics and charm. In a rich agricultural region, Topeka is an important shipping point for cattle and wheat and a wholesaling, marketing, and processing center for farm products. Its folks like cowboys and cable television. They favor bland food.

The Threshers, a longtime member of the High Plains League, have featured some strong talent over the years of their affiliation with Moline, including Andruw Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, and Pat Burrell.

Annual seasonal promotions include Bat Loaf night in June. All fans receive a free loaf of bread in the form of a Louisville Slugger. In-game events include Mind the Thresher, in which some lucky fan tries to extract a prize from the moving blades of a vintage threshing machine. An ambulance and paramedics stand by.
