Gathering Blue Grass In Iowa
The Nebraska Seed Company of Omaha employed 100 people to strip blue grass seed by hand along county highways with larger tracts using machines. Strippers earned $6 to $8 daily, and about 7,000 bushels were obtained. Seed was dried in sacks at drying grounds with constant stirring to prevent overheating, requiring four days of favorable weather to cure before processing by a special machine that removes the seed covering. Dry spring weather reduced the blue grass crop.
