Harvesting of wheat on the grand scale, with tractor-drawn "combines" cutting and threshing the grain in a multiple operation, is not confined, as is popularly supposed, to the broad wheat lands of Minnesota and the Dakotas. Each summer, Arthur Heath, farmer living two miles southwest of Milan, harvests his own and some of his neighbors' wheat crops with the combine, pictured above. Horse-drawn wagons are used to haul the sacks of wheat to the barn. That is the only concession to old-fashioned methods of wheat harvesting.
