Making Wheat Pay in 1917

From the August 30, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"Harry Sittler, a farmer near DeKalb came in yesterday with a heaping wagonload of fine new wheat.  He went home minus the wheat but $1.25.50 richer in pocket, having disposed of his product at the rate of $2.25 per bushel.

"This he considered a pretty fat day's work, even in the present days of inflated markets."
