There is an excellent YouTube channel called The Great War that started in summer 2014. Indy Neidell is the host and he goes through the events of WWI in real time week by week. There were also extra episodes every week, and one covered the US s rise to meet the needs of the Entente powers for war material. This set the foundation for production to the Allies in WWII.
Production didn t "miraculously" start at a huge scale in December 1941. The US was already manufactuing material on a large scale by then. We were filling orders for lend/lease for at least a year before for the British. Once we were attacked on 7 December 1941, we just expanded production into plants building "nonessential" machinery.
The John Deere GM exists because of restrictions put on price increases during the war. Deere has held off on styling the G in 1939 when they did the A and B. When they finally got around to it, the war board rejected their application for a price increase. Deere s solution was to come out with a "new" model - the GM. They changed it back to the G in 1945.
Massey Harris wanted to keep building combines, so they went to the war board and made a deal that they would harvest the Great Plains with their machines. Since we sent out best and strongest off to war, there was a huge shortage or manpower to run the threshers. Anyone on here knows what kind of crew it takes to keep a thresher running. The board approved and Massey Harris basically started up what continues today - harvest crews following the ripening wheat from south to north.
As for Rosie, many women happily and readily went to workin the factories. Many wanted to stay after the war. But once the men came home, they were all kicked out. Just as much propaganda was printed after the war that preached "a woman s place is in the home".

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
