HOWARD, S.D. (AP) - Two men at Howard are looking for customers
to buy specialty equipment they've designed.
Randy Leith came up with a grader attachment for small tractors
of 45 horsepower or less. He says it's used to grade roads that are
too small or inconvenient for traditional road graders.
Dave Clarke created a combine header that can harvest 24 rows.
He thinks it's the largest in the industry and fills a need from
farmers who want to make fewer passes through the field.
