O.T. Farmers Pocket Notebooks

While cleaning up my shop I found a box with a lot of the old time[from the 1960's] Farmers Pocket Notebooks. The kind most of the Farm Service Companys and Seed Corn Dealers used to give out before "Caps" became the big Advertisement item. Any way looking thru them there is a wealth of Ag. related information in these old Notebooks,for instance in 1961 Ia. was the largest Corn producing State followed closely by ILL. Ia. planted 10,098,000 Acres and Il planted 8,288,000 Acres of Corn. Average Yield for Ia.74.0 bu to the Acre, Il. yield 77.0 bu. per acre.
In 1963 Ia. planted 10,754.000 Acres yielding 80.0 bu.to the Acre and IlL. planted 8,849,000 Acres with an Avg. yield of 85.0 bu. per Acre.
Of particular delight to me was an IHC Notebook titled "Guide to Better Planting " with an IHC 456 Planter. The cover is a scene of myself operating an IHC 560 pulling an IHC 456 Planter on the IHC Advertising Dept. Farm called "Hickory Hill Farm" at Norway ILL. where I as a young man was employed for 9 years before going Farming full time on my own.
If any one has a question to be answered and an answer is available from one of these old Seed and Fertilizer and the 456 IHC Planter notebook I will gladly furnish an answer if possible. Just post your question on the Equipment Forum and I will see it as I visit YT.every day.
