A New Transportation Era For The Farmers
A late magazine notes that tractors haul farm produce in England, converting corn grain and other goods into a train of cars moved by road at about 4 cents per ton per mile. This cost is far lower than in the United States. Paul Beer of Barber Asphalt Co. envisions motor truck service linking farms to markets, predicting a transition akin to the shift from horse-drawn equipment to modern harvesters. Permanent hard roads pay for themselves, and the tractor system could redefine transporting produce to market nationwide.
