University of Idaho Library Special Collections and Archives tips our sun hat to farmers throughout the Palouse who are in the process of harvesting their wheat crop. Today’s modern combines use a different type of horsepower than the horse-drawn threshing machine seen in this photo from 1893.

The summer 2018 crop could produce record numbers in yield per acre for Palouse area farmers.
