Market Farming

[Jay Sleichter <jaysleichter AT yahoo.com>]

With all this talk about small grains, I ran across this small grain cleaner on craigslist today. I am just passing on the information. I have never seen one of these for sale before.

All this talk about small grain production really brings back the nostalgia of an era gone by.  Every year we have Threshing Bee's in our area.  I wonder if some of these people would be interested in harvesting a small field for a demonstration of their machine. It could be some sort of Agri-Tourism?  I know my neighbor is always willing to come up and plow a garden area with his old tractors that he restores.  He won't take money, but I always load them up with produce.

Iron the last few years has kindof went the same direction as corn, so most things have went to the junk yards and crushed.  I shop a lot Fastline and you can find a few old  gleaners, and some old JD's, but not very close to me so getting one home would cost quite a bit.  I'm still looking, found a couple of gleaners in Wi, that may be  close enough.  Parts on some of these old machines are rather hard to find also.
