Elevator use grows on farms for handling various produce
Farm elevators and conveyors, once rare, spread widely after the war. Portable or stationary units lift baled hay, corn, root crops, shelled grain, and forage, easing back breaking chores. Think before buying to match size and use and expect 1/10 to 5 kWh per 1000 bushels with a five horsepower motor.
Small Farm Units Are Big Implement Buyers
A survey by the Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturers Association shows two thirds of the 1.5 billion dollars spent on agricultural implements this year goes to small one-family farms. By 1950 four million farms are expected to produce 33 percent more than six million farms did before the war as small operators become the main buyers of labor saving equipment.
Plastic Lily Ponds Offer Portable Water Garden Option
Plastic lily ponds provide an affordable alternative to stone basins for farmers and city dwellers. They can be emptied folded for indoor storage in winter and serve as wading pools for children or as duck ponds.
