When I was a young farmboy in the 50's and 60's the wheat variety most raised (at least on our dirt) was Waldron, a heritage wheat. I can remember Dad and Gramps hauling a truckload into the elevator for cleaning every spring for that years seeding. Some years if the harvest was a plumb, heavy crop a load was stored in the wood built seed granary. That bin was closely watched throughout the winter to insure it maintained condition for spring seeding.
Waldron was famous for long straw and heads. Very prone to wind and lodging. During harvest Gramps would pull the JD 65 combine picking up huge 18' swaths. Dad drove the trucks and I dumped in the 6" auger. A bumper was 35 bushels, less than 5% dockage was cause for celebration.
Cancer was extremely rare and very very few people were obese. Families were large, nobody had a lot of money, the churches were overflowing. On a clear night one could bounce in a Chicago AM blues station or listen to Joe Pyne.
Good times, better memories.

I haven’t followed the timeline of the “dimpled” vs “non-dimpled” receivers, but it looks like late 2023 is when it was first implemented?

I’m curious why retailers are still selling “non-dimpled” receivers? Or are we seeing a lot of used “non-dimpled” receivers changing hands?

Partly curious because Barrett’s warranty is for the original purchaser only and for only 1 year. Or are they waving this policy for the cracked receivers? Really this last question is what I’m interested in.
