In eastern Oregon the shift to machines increases gear costs for each shearer who must own his own machine, combers, and knives. Despite higher upfront costs, skilled workers average around 130 to 160 sheep per day, earning about 12.76 dollars daily on good wool. Hand shearing fades as machines boost efficiency and reduce labor, with Missouri bankers gathering in Joplin for a major conference featuring notable speakers.
