In the foreground is an old two row corn picker, similar to the one my dad used when I was growing up. Dad's was better (as this one is from the 1930's) but the basic technology is the same. The price tag for this was $550 back then.

I'm not overly wild about the sorghum. In the days before sugar being readily available it was a common sweetener. I bought several sample bottles to take back to the Emirates. I suspect it will go over as well there as my bringing dates to the US.
