American soybean production increased rapidly from the late 1970s into the 1980s, prompting manufacturers to invest in the research and development of specialized agricultural equipment. This 1985 photograph promotes a range of Ford New Holland machinery built to harvest corn and wheat -- crops that had been common for many decades -- as well as the relative newcomer, soybeans.
