May 1, 1958 Agriculture - Last Friday all the sophomore and freshmen boys taking agriculture took a trip to Waterloo, visiting Rath Packing Company in the morning and John Deere Tractor works in the afternoon. John Crabb, Milo Dodd and Mr. Graves provided cars for the trip. At the Rath Plant, we saw how they made and packaged wieners, dried beef, and other varieties of packaged meat. We also saw the cattle laid on the conveyor and cut into the different cuts of meat. We also saw similar action with hogs and sheep. The meats are cooled at 36 degrees for 24 hours. At the John Deere Company, they make four sizes of tractors with an assembly line for each size. We started at the assembly line where the tractors started with the crank case and eventually developed into an operating tractor. All along the assembly line were men and women having one thing to do to each tractor. The tractors, after being tested, painted and inspected, were driven to the storage area for later shipment.
