Hugh, I've never seen one of the potato harvesters. That sounds interesting. I wonder why they had to be so tall? I would have thought a potato harvester was low to the ground. Back to the eatable bean pickers, the only production Chism Reider machines I ever saw were on F504HC's and the only ones I ever saw on the F656 HC Hydros were the ones built locally. I know later CR ones were built on F666HC Hydros because that is what the junk one in Chattanooga is. The Mississippi Delta had always been primarly cotton, rice, corn and soybeans. However in the early sixties some decided the area was right to grow food and vegetables. A large cannery was built in Morehead, several companies set up experimental farms for vegetable test growing, and a number of producers started growing food crops, mainly eatable beans, tomatoes, and peanuts. It never did really catch on and less than ten years after production started there were no more food crops (other than rice and corn which have always been grown) being grown in the Delta. The cannery is still in business but most of the vegetables are imported from Arkansas or further away. The main food crops in the Delta are now catfish and rice. I beleave the Mississippi Delta produces more farm raised catfish than all the rest of the United States together. Harold H

He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
