He scans private desert property with permission, avoids waste using interlocking ribs, and has been offered 1200 dollars for his finest dining table centerpiece found after years of searching.

Tobacco Cleaner Saves Growers From Penalties
MOULTRIE Ga AP Joe Norman built two shaking devices from scrap parts to remove sand and debris from tobacco before sale. One machine uses peanut combine parts to clean 200 pounds in five minutes, boosting price from 61 cents to 82 cents or more per pound. The second rotates tobacco in a cotton gin cage powered by a tractor PTO, suggesting growers with 10 acres or more can profit from cleaner leaf.
