North Dakota thresher television
March 1, 2010 3 Comments
John says that in North Dakota the farmers leave a large piece of equipment at the highest point of the acreage just to improve television reception.
Does it work?
John says he doesn’t know. But it certainly explains why you see so many of these threshers on the hills all over the countryside.
(update: Myth busted! Today was my first volunteering at the museum and I am assured that the threshers on the hillside simply serve as monuments to the farm’s past. Not as good a story

Fascinating! I hope you get some follow-up on this.
This completely cracked me up. I don’t know why, it just tickled my funny bone.
Thanks guys. I tried to find some kind of verification on line, but couldn’t. John says it’s only in North Dakota too. He says, “we have the only museum that you view at 60 miles an hour.”
