Farmers scour auctions for harvest equipment

By Mark Weinraub

MACKINAW, Illinois (Reuters) - The price was higher than Bill Boyd wanted to pay and still rising, but it didn't really matter. He needed a combine harvester.

He lost most of his farm equipment to fire when lightning struck his shed earlier this year, leaving him no way to harvest his part of what could be the most valuable crop in U.S. history.

So Boyd, who grows corn, soybeans and wheat on 1,000 acres in Rushville, Illinois, joined about 150 others in this small town in central Illinois to bid on the used equipment of retiring farmer John Kuhfuss. And the prices were high.

“The summer before the boat was ready, he came home on leave so we could inspect the Sangamon. The river looked big enough, but we didn't know there was an old, solid dam in Petersburg and low bridges across the highways.”

Churning away from the banks of the Sangamon River, the Talisman riverboat looks like the little sister of the mighty sternwheelers of old. via State Journal-Register
