Someone had managed to gather together about 60 farm implements and wagons and has decided to put them on display. The vast majority of the farm implements are very old horse drawn machines. The collection includes plows, cultivators, harrows, discs, mowers, corn planters, farm wagons, potato diggers and planters, a hay loader, a manure spreader and two road graders. The display is immediately north of the highway and appears to be accessible 24/7/365, at no charge.
This is our second corn planter here. Again, no indication of who the manufacturer may have been. I've noticed that all the corn planters are double row and have pretty much exactly the same spacing between rows and it seems like a pretty big space, about 3.5 feet. It seems to me that the space between corn rows these days is quite a bit less. Also, this one appears to have a single seeding rate, whereas some of the others have as many as four.
