Combine Harvests Soybeans With New Machine In Iowa
Hudson Iowa Oct 26 A combine harvester thinning the same machine used for grain on the A Harrington place near Dunkerton is being used at B S Strayer farm north of Hudson to harvest soybeans. After late last week it has operated steadily, cutting 15 acres in seven hours Saturday and nearly 40 acres by nightfall. Three men handle the operation, with yields reported up to 28 bushels per acre on Manchu beans and larger expected with Dunfields. The machine cuts three rows, reduces costs by about 2.40 an acre versus old methods, and works even in light weeds. Spectators watch the new method with interest.
