Hopefully someone can help us with this. This wheel assembly was found in a grove and has a ID tag similar to the one shown. The steel wheel is 26 in diameter. On our tag the bottom row reads. DPC. a number, HEMP. Everything else reads the same. On our tag it is difficult to read but with a magnifying glass it is readable.

The wheel is a truck off a Binder. There would have been another with a similar BUT NOT IDENTICAL axle. The HEMP reference and implied Government connection makes me think it may have been connected to Hemp production during WW II. May have been a truck for some other piece of equipment but definitely for something that needed to be transported end wise and was likely for a grain/crop cutting implement.

The Defense connection is quite interesting. I do have a welder with a Army Corp of Engineers tag and yours is quite a bit different.

My Dad said there was Hemp Plant not too far (30 miles) during the war. I wonder if the govt supplied the binder for the production similar to canning companies and it was moved to one for or another. That was before Dad went to the South Pacific with the Navy until the end of the war.
