New Snapper Harvester Shown To Handle Wet Fields
Agricultural engineers tested a two row snapper harvester at Ang able to navigate wet fields better than huskers. It is lighter, attaches to a tractor, leaves some kernels on the ear for fodder, and can harvest twenty five minutes per thirty bushels. It costs about seventy five dollars less than a standard husker and reduces field downdraft.
