These are notes that I am writing to help me learn our industrial history. They are my best understanding, but that does not mean they are a correct understanding.

Harvest: Peanuts
Harvesting peanuts is like hay --- it is a two step process. First you dig them out of the ground and flip them over so that they can dry. Then you combine them.
The combine is heavily modified. The bin dumps the peanuts rather than use an auger.
The header is like that what you see on a hay baler to pick up windrows. It looks like this header is wide enough to pick up the three windrows left by the digger.
