Was reading a farm sale bill the other day. A New Idea 2 row corn picker was mentioned. It got me to thinking (and I know this can be subject to regional differences). The NI corn pickers were pretty much the only game in town. If you had a corn picker, there was at least a 90% chance it was a New Idea 3XX model. I cannot think of any of other piece of farm equipment that had cornered their market like the New Idea corn picker. Can you? If you can, please state the area of the country you are referencing. As an example, I would bet in the mid-atlantic area in the 60s and 70s, if you had a square baler it was probably a New Holland. Now I don't think 90%, but guessing a very high percentage. AND, as a follow up question, how did New Idea achieve such market penetration for corn pickers? Did they have special patents that locked competition out?
