Item Title
Reducing the Need for Labor on the 96 Ranch
Author/Creator
Narrator: Stewart, Leslie J.
Ahlborn, Richard E., interviewer.
Created/Published
July 20,1978
Notes
Les Stewart compares the labor needed for haying in the past with the current use of machinery that has taken its place.
This selection was recorded in the cab of a pickup truck as Les was driving out to a hayfield to show fieldworker Dick Ahlborn the current generation of machinery. These machines have shrunk the haying crew from well over a dozen to three or four. In the course of the discussion, Les enumerates all of the jobs on a derrick-era haying crew. The remarks about reduced labor needs counterpoint Stanley Smart's comments in the audio selection "Losing Jobs to Mechanization."
