So, this is a travel week for me at my day job. While flying, I was reading an old book on farming methods and I had an idea and wanted to see if I was totally nuts.

It wouldn't be the only aspect I would pursue, but with the right equipment, it would allow for dual purposing of items, like a dump wagon and a baler that could be used other places if needed. I know rye and smaller grains are a bit harder to combine, but that is what research is for. Still thinking on a 30,000ft level.
