Pick Up and Sell Farm Scrap Metal Drive Urges Farmers
Iowa State College extension engineer Dale Hull warns that next year’s supply of new farm machinery hinges on moving scrap metal from farms to market. He notes scrap shortens refining time, boosting steel production since new steel derives roughly half scrap. Reclaimed metal serves as usable material for many purposes, though highly precision parts may differ.

Scrap Drives On Farm Units Boost Cleanliness And Readiness
Hull urges farmers to collect scrap metal including jet engines and household metals as a boost to national strength and farm efficiency. Cash from selling scrap exceeds zero when equipment rusts, and higher prices than in World War II era support farm repairs. Cleaning up reduces hazards to workers and livestock, with fall a good season to inspect machinery for repairs or replacements ahead of planting season.
