I came across these and hope some one could translate what they are.
1. Obviously a postcard of some sort. What does the text say and what is the little sketch? Thanks much, Ron.

Thats a postcard wich advertise for some kind of farmers (goods) exibition, held at Frankfurt.
The back was used to quickly write down some cooking manual, looks like for some kind of dessert, made of rice and fruits. The scetch shows how the diff. parts of that sweet rice should be arranged.

The official guide booklet (also had the poster, but sold it):

Unlike the Reichsparteitags, the Reichsnährstand Austellungs seemed to move around from year to year.
This one in 1936 was in Frankfurt. In 1937 it seems to have been in München. Leipzig in 1939. The one in 1939 was advertised as the "5th", so apparently they were an annual event. 1938 might have been in Königsberg. No wait a minute, the Königsberg event was advertised as the Ostschau of the Reichsnährstand, and 1937 in München was advertised as the "4th". So maybe 1938 got skipped for the big one. Frankfurt in 1936 was the "3rd" one, as your guide booklet shows.
Does anybody here know the other locations for the first two?

I've seen pictures of some of the exhibits, and it seemed to include a lot of farm machinery like tractors and all the machinery that tractors (or horses) could pull.

It's typical that Darre's Reichsnährstand organization was set up to govern FOOD distribution, but used that opening to eventually take control over almost everything about agriculture.

Keep in mind, these exhibitions were very different than the Erntedankfests at Bückeberg, which were under the Propaganda Ministry.

Okay, I just nailed down the other two-
1st Reichsnährstand Ausstellung was in 1934 in Erfurt
2nd Reichsnährstand Ausstellung was in in 1935 in Hamburg

P.S.- your guide booklet cover art is by Ludwig Höhlwein- a well-known and popular artist of posters and "message" art of that era.
