University OF Illinois experts have
figured that farmers would have saved
millions of bushels more of their
small grain this year had there been
more threshers available. In dry
season, the big rings were well
enough, but this year, few rings got
all done. and the farmer with his own
rig, or where an outfit was owned by
three or four neighbors, more than
paid for the outfit by getting all the
crop.
