Crawler-Type Peanut Picker Paving Way Toward Combine
During World War II Wiregrass farmers adopted a crawler-type peanut picker to ease harvests. A motorized thresher attached to a tractor sped processing, cutting labor from ten to three workers and enabling earlier use of peanut combines. The invention promises continued land conservation through humus and legumes like lupine, with 1960 peanut harvests forecast at over $20 million in value and millions of pounds of peanuts harvested.

Houston County Farm Agent C. M. Ling argues that record 1940 per-acre yield, 18 105 pounds above the ten-year average, undermines the belief farmers ruin the land with peanuts. He cites blue lupine as a factor and notes Houston County farmers planted over 35 acres of lupine after last year’s peanut harvest, within a 44,000 acre quota this year.
