Some big city type must've written this. There is no mention of
center pivots.

Apparently Zybach grew up in Nebraska but headed west to Colorado
before his brainstorm. Daugherty bought the rights.

I searched for Colorado inventions and didn't find them on the sites
that showed up. Here's an example:

Maybe it's because there are so few sold relatively speaking.


Apparently the only thing invented in Montana was the Holter heart
monitor that makes the searches. They missed beaverslides:

Grant-Kohrs is a National Historic Site and is maintained as a working
ranch over in Deer Lodge. There still are some beaverslides around
although most people use tractors rather than teams.

Right around here it's mostly wheel lines or hand lines. Moving pipe
gives the kids something to do.
