Fig. 17. Farmers gather to harvest ‘Moro’ winter wheat in July 1971 for a neighbor who is sick, has passed away, or otherwise unable to harvest his crop. Wheat farmers have a long tradition of helping each other in time of need. These combines had 6 to 7 m wide headers and could harvest 20 ha d–1. Moro was the number one wheat grown in the low-precipitation zone from 1966 through the 1970s due to its excellent ability to emerge from deep planting depths in summer-fallowed soils.
