<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 2862202, member: 8267"]Based on my experience with late 19th/early 20th century books on agricultural pesticides, I don't believe there is a great deal of interest in such items. (Although some modern organic farmers seem to have some interest in researching earlier methods.) The equipment is not particularly nostalgic, aesthetically attractive (to most people), or collectible. I would venture to say most old agricultural equipment was used to exhaustion, then discarded in the back 40 (judging from the amount of junk in the woods of my old farm). An association with pesticides is not a strong selling point, either. But you might find some examples collected and preserved in museums and local historical societies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
